Which option gives the correct cause-and-effect relationship for The development of understanding of genetics and evolution, Resistant bacteria: students must explain that developing new antibiotics is costly and slow and may not keep up with resistant strains.

  1. A.Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Resistant bacteria because students must explain that developing new antibiotics is costly and slow and may not keep up with resistant strains.
  2. B.Reversed cause: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Resistant bacteria.
  3. C.Missing link: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This misses the objective focus on explain that developing new antibiotics is costly and slow and may not keep up with resistant strains.
  4. D.Different process: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than The development of understanding of genetics and evolution / Resistant bacteria.
