Variation and evolution

Question

  1. A. Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. 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 cause: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Genetic engineering.
  3. C. Missing link: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. 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. Different process: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Variation and evolution / Genetic engineering.

Answer

The correct option is Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. 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 cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. 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 cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. 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 is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. 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 treating dna as if it always means one gene., calling a gene a whole chromosome., or drift away from when asking about dna, test molecular structure, base sequence, nucleotides, or genetic information storage..

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..
