Variation and evolution

Question

  1. A. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Genetic engineering because students must describe (HT only) inserting the required gene into a vector such as a bacterial plasmid or virus.
  2. B. Reversed contrast: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Genetic engineering.
  3. C. Over-broad contrast: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on describe (HT only) inserting the required gene into a vector such as a bacterial plasmid or virus.
  4. D. Unrelated contrast: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Variation and evolution / Genetic engineering.

Answer

The correct option is Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Genetic engineering because students must describe (HT only) inserting the required gene into a vector such as a bacterial plasmid or virus.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Genetic engineering.

Explanation

The correct option is Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Genetic engineering because students must describe (HT only) inserting the required gene into a vector such as a bacterial plasmid or virus.. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Genetic engineering because students must describe (HT only) inserting the required gene into a vector such as a bacterial plasmid or virus. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must describe (HT only) inserting the required gene into a vector such as a bacterial plasmid or virus, so the answer must stay inside Genetic engineering. 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

Genetic engineering common mistake 1

Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Describe (HT only) inserting the required gene into a vector such as a bacterial plasmid or virus..

Answer by clearly explaining how to describe (HT only) inserting the required gene into a vector such as a bacterial plasmid or virus..
