The development of understanding of genetics and evolution
Question
- A. Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Extinction because students must describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information.
- B. Reversed cause: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Extinction.
- C. Missing link: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This misses the objective focus on describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information.
- D. Different process: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than The development of understanding of genetics and evolution / Extinction.
Answer
The correct option is Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Extinction because students must describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Extinction.
Explanation
The correct option is Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Extinction because students must describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information.. Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Extinction because students must describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information. is correct because DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. The learning objective says students must describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information, so the answer must stay inside Extinction. The alternative options are wrong because they either treating dna as if it always means one gene., calling a gene a whole chromosome., or drift away from when asking about dna, test molecular structure, base sequence, nucleotides, or genetic information storage..
Common mistake
Extinction common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information..
Answer by clearly explaining how to describe catastrophic events as possible contributors to extinction when given information..
