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 Fossils because students must explain why the fossil record is incomplete, including soft-bodied organisms and geological activity.
- B. Reversed contrast: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Fossils.
- C. Over-broad contrast: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on explain why the fossil record is incomplete, including soft-bodied organisms and geological activity.
- D. Unrelated contrast: 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 contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Fossils because students must explain why the fossil record is incomplete, including soft-bodied organisms and geological activity.. 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 contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Fossils because students must explain why the fossil record is incomplete, including soft-bodied organisms and geological activity.. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Fossils because students must explain why the fossil record is incomplete, including soft-bodied organisms and geological activity. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must explain why the fossil record is incomplete, including soft-bodied organisms and geological activity, 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 why the fossil record is incomplete, including soft-bodied organisms and geological activity..
Answer by clearly explaining how to explain why the fossil record is incomplete, including soft-bodied organisms and geological activity..
