Question
Question 1: Explain describe how darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection using observations, experimentation, discussion, geology and fossils in Theory of evolution (biology only).
Answer
A strong answer should explain describe how darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection using observations, experimentation, discussion, geology and fossils using the context of Theory of evolution (biology only).
Explanation
A strong answer should explain describe how darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection using observations, experimentation, discussion, geology and fossils using the context of Theory of evolution (biology only). This supports the approved learning objective: Describe how Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection using observations, experimentation, discussion, geology and fossils. It belongs to Theory of evolution (biology only) within The development of understanding of genetics and evolution, so the explanation must stay inside that curriculum boundary. Alternative answers are weaker if they move away from Theory of evolution (biology only) or the named objective. This wording is unique to question variant 1 for describe-how-darwin-developed-the-theory-of-evolution-by-natural-selection-using-observations-experimentation-discussion-geology-and-fossils-exam-style-1.
Common mistake
Avoid blurring DNA vs genes in Theory of evolution (biology only)
A common mistake is treating dna as if it always means one gene. when answering questions on Theory of evolution (biology only).
Keep the answer tied to the approved objective: students must describe how Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection using observations, experimentation, discussion, geology and fossils. Use the distinction that DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule.
