The development of understanding of genetics and evolution
Question
- A. Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Speciation (biology only) because students must describe the work of Darwin and Wallace in developing the theory of evolution by natural selection.
- B. Scale confusion: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Speciation (biology only).
- C. Process confusion: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on describe the work of Darwin and Wallace in developing the theory of evolution by natural selection.
- D. Evidence confusion: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than The development of understanding of genetics and evolution / Speciation (biology only).
Answer
The correct option is Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Speciation (biology only) because students must describe the work of Darwin and Wallace in developing the theory of evolution by natural selection.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Speciation (biology only).
Explanation
The correct option is Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Speciation (biology only) because students must describe the work of Darwin and Wallace in developing the theory of evolution by natural selection.. Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Speciation (biology only) because students must describe the work of Darwin and Wallace in developing the theory of evolution by natural selection. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must describe the work of Darwin and Wallace in developing the theory of evolution by natural selection, so the answer must stay inside Speciation (biology only). 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
Speciation (biology only) common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Describe the work of Darwin and Wallace in developing the theory of evolution by natural selection..
Answer by clearly explaining how to describe the work of Darwin and Wallace in developing the theory of evolution by natural selection..
