The development of understanding of genetics and evolution

Question

  1. A. Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Extinction because students must describe new diseases, predators or competitors as possible contributors to extinction.
  2. B. Scale confusion: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Extinction.
  3. C. Process confusion: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on describe new diseases, predators or competitors as possible contributors to extinction.
  4. D. Evidence confusion: 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 Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Extinction because students must describe new diseases, predators or competitors as possible contributors to extinction.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Extinction.

Explanation

The correct option is Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Extinction because students must describe new diseases, predators or competitors as possible contributors to extinction.. Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Extinction because students must describe new diseases, predators or competitors as possible contributors to extinction. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must describe new diseases, predators or competitors as possible contributors to extinction, so the answer must stay inside Extinction. 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

Extinction common mistake 1

Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Describe new diseases, predators or competitors as possible contributors to extinction..

Answer by clearly explaining how to describe new diseases, predators or competitors as possible contributors to extinction..
