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 The understanding of genetics (biology only) because students must explain that genes were later understood to be located on chromosomes.
- B. Reversed contrast: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing The understanding of genetics (biology only).
- 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 genes were later understood to be located on chromosomes.
- D. Unrelated contrast: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than The development of understanding of genetics and evolution / The understanding of genetics (biology only).
Answer
The correct option is Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches The understanding of genetics (biology only) because students must explain that genes were later understood to be located on chromosomes.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in The understanding of genetics (biology only).
Explanation
The correct option is Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches The understanding of genetics (biology only) because students must explain that genes were later understood to be located on chromosomes.. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches The understanding of genetics (biology only) because students must explain that genes were later understood to be located on chromosomes. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must explain that genes were later understood to be located on chromosomes, so the answer must stay inside The understanding of genetics (biology only). 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
The understanding of genetics (biology only) common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain that genes were later understood to be located on chromosomes..
Answer by clearly explaining how to explain that genes were later understood to be located on chromosomes..
