Question

  1. A. Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Selective breeding because students must describe choosing parents with desired characteristics from a mixed population.
  2. B. Common misconception: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Selective breeding.
  3. C. Partial misconception: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This misses the objective focus on describe choosing parents with desired characteristics from a mixed population.
  4. D. Terminology mix-up: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Variation and evolution / Selective breeding.

Answer

The correct option is Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Selective breeding because students must describe choosing parents with desired characteristics from a mixed population.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Selective breeding.

Explanation

The correct option is Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Selective breeding because students must describe choosing parents with desired characteristics from a mixed population.. Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Selective breeding because students must describe choosing parents with desired characteristics from a mixed population. is correct because A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. The learning objective says students must describe choosing parents with desired characteristics from a mixed population, so the answer must stay inside Selective breeding. The alternative options are wrong because they either explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of dna., treating dna as if it always means one gene., or drift away from do not use dna, gene, and chromosome as interchangeable answers..

Common mistake

Selective breeding common mistake 1

Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Describe choosing parents with desired characteristics from a mixed population..

Answer by clearly explaining how to describe choosing parents with desired characteristics from a mixed population..
