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 Evidence for evolution because students must use data to support explanations of evolutionary theory.
- B. Reversed contrast: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Evidence for evolution.
- C. Over-broad contrast: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on use data to support explanations of evolutionary theory.
- D. Unrelated contrast: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than The development of understanding of genetics and evolution / Evidence for evolution.
Answer
The correct option is Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Evidence for evolution because students must use data to support explanations of evolutionary theory.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Evidence for evolution.
Explanation
The correct option is Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Evidence for evolution because students must use data to support explanations of evolutionary theory.. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Evidence for evolution because students must use data to support explanations of evolutionary theory. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must use data to support explanations of evolutionary theory, so the answer must stay inside Evidence for evolution. 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
Evidence for evolution common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Use data to support explanations of evolutionary theory..
Answer by clearly explaining how to use data to support explanations of evolutionary theory..
