The development of understanding of genetics and evolution
Question
- A. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Fossils because students must describe fossils as preserved traces such as footprints, burrows and rootlet traces.
- B. Reversed contrast: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Fossils.
- C. Over-broad contrast: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on describe fossils as preserved traces such as footprints, burrows and rootlet traces.
- D. Unrelated contrast: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than The development of understanding of genetics and evolution / Fossils.
Answer
The correct option is Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Fossils because students must describe fossils as preserved traces such as footprints, burrows and rootlet traces.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Fossils.
Explanation
The correct option is Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Fossils because students must describe fossils as preserved traces such as footprints, burrows and rootlet traces.. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Fossils because students must describe fossils as preserved traces such as footprints, burrows and rootlet traces. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must describe fossils as preserved traces such as footprints, burrows and rootlet traces, so the answer must stay inside Fossils. The alternative options are wrong because they either calling a gene a whole chromosome., explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of dna., or drift away from when asking about genes, test a section of dna, protein coding, alleles, or inherited characteristics..
Common mistake
Fossils common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Describe fossils as preserved traces such as footprints, burrows and rootlet traces..
Answer by clearly explaining how to describe fossils as preserved traces such as footprints, burrows and rootlet traces..
