The development of understanding of genetics and evolution
Question
- 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 why bacteria can evolve rapidly because they reproduce quickly.
- B. Reversed cause: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Resistant bacteria.
- C. Missing link: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This misses the objective focus on explain why bacteria can evolve rapidly because they reproduce quickly.
- D. Different process: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than The development of understanding of genetics and evolution / Resistant bacteria.
Answer
The correct option is 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 why bacteria can evolve rapidly because they reproduce quickly.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Resistant bacteria.
Explanation
The correct option is 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 why bacteria can evolve rapidly because they reproduce quickly.. 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 why bacteria can evolve rapidly because they reproduce quickly. is correct because DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. The learning objective says students must explain why bacteria can evolve rapidly because they reproduce quickly, so the answer must stay inside Resistant bacteria. 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
Resistant bacteria common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain why bacteria can evolve rapidly because they reproduce quickly..
Answer by clearly explaining how to explain why bacteria can evolve rapidly because they reproduce quickly..
