Variation and evolution
Question
- A. Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Genetic engineering because students must describe (HT only) that enzymes isolate the required gene in genetic engineering.
- B. Scale confusion: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Genetic engineering.
- C. Process confusion: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on describe (HT only) that enzymes isolate the required gene in genetic engineering.
- D. Evidence confusion: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Variation and evolution / Genetic engineering.
Answer
The correct option is Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Genetic engineering because students must describe (HT only) that enzymes isolate the required gene in genetic engineering.. 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 Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Genetic engineering because students must describe (HT only) that enzymes isolate the required gene in genetic engineering.. Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Genetic engineering because students must describe (HT only) that enzymes isolate the required gene in genetic engineering. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must describe (HT only) that enzymes isolate the required gene in genetic engineering, 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) that enzymes isolate the required gene in genetic engineering..
Answer by clearly explaining how to describe (HT only) that enzymes isolate the required gene in genetic engineering..
