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 Fossils because students must explain that fossils show how much or how little organisms have changed over time.
  2. B. Reversed cause: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Fossils.
  3. C. Missing link: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This misses the objective focus on explain that fossils show how much or how little organisms have changed over time.
  4. D. Different process: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than The development of understanding of genetics and evolution / Fossils.

Answer

The correct option is Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Fossils because students must explain that fossils show how much or how little organisms have changed over time.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Fossils.

Explanation

The correct option is Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Fossils because students must explain that fossils show how much or how little organisms have changed over time.. Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Fossils because students must explain that fossils show how much or how little organisms have changed over time. is correct because DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. The learning objective says students must explain that fossils show how much or how little organisms have changed over time, so the answer must stay inside Fossils. 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

Fossils common mistake 1

Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain that fossils show how much or how little organisms have changed over time..

Answer by clearly explaining how to explain that fossils show how much or how little organisms have changed over time..
