Variation and evolution
Question
- A. Misconception avoided: Chromosome number changes in meiosis; gene variants are alleles. This matches Cloning (biology only) because students must describe adult cell cloning by removing the nucleus from an unfertilised egg cell.
- B. Common misconception: Missing that chromosomes contain many genes. This would blur Genes vs chromosomes instead of testing Cloning (biology only).
- C. Partial misconception: Saying a chromosome codes for one protein instead of identifying a gene. This misses the objective focus on describe adult cell cloning by removing the nucleus from an unfertilised egg cell.
- D. Terminology mix-up: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Variation and evolution / Cloning (biology only).
Answer
The correct option is Misconception avoided: Chromosome number changes in meiosis; gene variants are alleles. This matches Cloning (biology only) because students must describe adult cell cloning by removing the nucleus from an unfertilised egg cell.. It is the only option that keeps Genes vs chromosomes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Cloning (biology only).
Explanation
The correct option is Misconception avoided: Chromosome number changes in meiosis; gene variants are alleles. This matches Cloning (biology only) because students must describe adult cell cloning by removing the nucleus from an unfertilised egg cell.. Misconception avoided: Chromosome number changes in meiosis; gene variants are alleles. This matches Cloning (biology only) because students must describe adult cell cloning by removing the nucleus from an unfertilised egg cell. is correct because Chromosome number changes in meiosis; gene variants are alleles. The learning objective says students must describe adult cell cloning by removing the nucleus from an unfertilised egg cell, so the answer must stay inside Cloning (biology only). The alternative options are wrong because they either missing that chromosomes contain many genes., saying a chromosome codes for one protein instead of identifying a gene., or drift away from options should make scale explicit: section of dna versus long dna molecule..
Common mistake
Cloning (biology only) common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Describe adult cell cloning by removing the nucleus from an unfertilised egg cell..
Answer by clearly explaining how to describe adult cell cloning by removing the nucleus from an unfertilised egg cell..
