The development of understanding of genetics and evolution
Question
- A. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Resistant bacteria because students must explain that developing new antibiotics is costly and slow and may not keep up with resistant strains.
- B. Reversed contrast: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Resistant bacteria.
- C. Over-broad contrast: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on explain that developing new antibiotics is costly and slow and may not keep up with resistant strains.
- D. Unrelated contrast: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than The development of understanding of genetics and evolution / Resistant bacteria.
Answer
The correct option is Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Resistant bacteria because students must explain that developing new antibiotics is costly and slow and may not keep up with resistant strains.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Resistant bacteria.
Explanation
The correct option is Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Resistant bacteria because students must explain that developing new antibiotics is costly and slow and may not keep up with resistant strains.. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Resistant bacteria because students must explain that developing new antibiotics is costly and slow and may not keep up with resistant strains. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must explain that developing new antibiotics is costly and slow and may not keep up with resistant strains, so the answer must stay inside Resistant bacteria. 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
Resistant bacteria common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain that developing new antibiotics is costly and slow and may not keep up with resistant strains..
Answer by clearly explaining how to explain that developing new antibiotics is costly and slow and may not keep up with resistant strains..
