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 Speciation (biology only) because students must describe Wallace’s work gathering evidence worldwide, including warning colouration and speciation.
- B. Reversed cause: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Speciation (biology only).
- C. Missing link: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This misses the objective focus on describe Wallace’s work gathering evidence worldwide, including warning colouration and speciation.
- D. Different process: 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 Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Speciation (biology only) because students must describe Wallace’s work gathering evidence worldwide, including warning colouration and speciation.. 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 Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Speciation (biology only) because students must describe Wallace’s work gathering evidence worldwide, including warning colouration and speciation.. Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Speciation (biology only) because students must describe Wallace’s work gathering evidence worldwide, including warning colouration and speciation. is correct because DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. The learning objective says students must describe Wallace’s work gathering evidence worldwide, including warning colouration and speciation, so the answer must stay inside Speciation (biology only). 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
Speciation (biology only) common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Describe Wallace’s work gathering evidence worldwide, including warning colouration and speciation..
Answer by clearly explaining how to describe Wallace’s work gathering evidence worldwide, including warning colouration and speciation..
