Variation and evolution
Question
- A. Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Selective breeding because students must describe choosing parents with desired characteristics from a mixed population.
- B. Scale confusion: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Selective breeding.
- C. Process confusion: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on describe choosing parents with desired characteristics from a mixed population.
- D. Evidence confusion: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Variation and evolution / Selective breeding.
Answer
The correct option is Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. 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 Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Selective breeding because students must describe choosing parents with desired characteristics from a mixed population.. Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Selective breeding because students must describe choosing parents with desired characteristics from a mixed population. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. 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 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
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..
