The development of understanding of genetics and evolution
Question
- A. Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Fossils because students must explain that fossils show how much or how little organisms have changed over time.
- B. Scale confusion: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Fossils.
- C. Process confusion: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on explain that fossils show how much or how little organisms have changed over time.
- D. Evidence confusion: 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 Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. 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 Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Fossils because students must explain that fossils show how much or how little organisms have changed over time.. Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Fossils because students must explain that fossils show how much or how little organisms have changed over time. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. 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 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
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..
