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 extract and interpret information from charts, graphs and tables linked to fossils.
- 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 extract and interpret information from charts, graphs and tables linked to fossils.
- 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 extract and interpret information from charts, graphs and tables linked to fossils.. 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 extract and interpret information from charts, graphs and tables linked to fossils.. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Fossils because students must extract and interpret information from charts, graphs and tables linked to fossils. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must extract and interpret information from charts, graphs and tables linked to fossils, 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: Extract and interpret information from charts, graphs and tables linked to fossils..
Answer by clearly explaining how to extract and interpret information from charts, graphs and tables linked to fossils..
