The development of understanding of genetics and evolution

Question

  1. A. Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Evidence for evolution because students must explain that antibiotic resistance in bacteria provides evidence for evolution by natural selection.
  2. B. Reversed cause: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Evidence for evolution.
  3. C. Missing link: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This misses the objective focus on explain that antibiotic resistance in bacteria provides evidence for evolution by natural selection.
  4. D. Different process: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than The development of understanding of genetics and evolution / Evidence for evolution.

Answer

The correct option is Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Evidence for evolution because students must explain that antibiotic resistance in bacteria provides evidence for evolution by natural selection.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Evidence for evolution.

Explanation

The correct option is Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Evidence for evolution because students must explain that antibiotic resistance in bacteria provides evidence for evolution by natural selection.. Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Evidence for evolution because students must explain that antibiotic resistance in bacteria provides evidence for evolution by natural selection. is correct because DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. The learning objective says students must explain that antibiotic resistance in bacteria provides evidence for evolution by natural selection, so the answer must stay inside Evidence for evolution. 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

Evidence for evolution common mistake 1

Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain that antibiotic resistance in bacteria provides evidence for evolution by natural selection..

Answer by clearly explaining how to explain that antibiotic resistance in bacteria provides evidence for evolution by natural selection..
