The development of understanding of genetics and evolution

Question

  1. A. Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Evidence for evolution because students must explain that evolution by natural selection is now widely accepted.
  2. B. Common misconception: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Evidence for evolution.
  3. C. Partial misconception: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This misses the objective focus on explain that evolution by natural selection is now widely accepted.
  4. D. Terminology mix-up: 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 Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Evidence for evolution because students must explain that evolution by natural selection is now widely accepted.. 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 Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Evidence for evolution because students must explain that evolution by natural selection is now widely accepted.. Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Evidence for evolution because students must explain that evolution by natural selection is now widely accepted. is correct because A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. The learning objective says students must explain that evolution by natural selection is now widely accepted, so the answer must stay inside Evidence for evolution. The alternative options are wrong because they either explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of dna., treating dna as if it always means one gene., or drift away from do not use dna, gene, and chromosome as interchangeable answers..

Common mistake

Evidence for evolution common mistake 1

Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain that evolution by natural selection is now widely accepted..

Answer by clearly explaining how to explain that evolution by natural selection is now widely accepted..
