Question
- A. Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Genetic engineering because students must describe objections some people have to genetic engineering and GM crops.
- 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 Genetic engineering.
- C. Partial misconception: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This misses the objective focus on describe objections some people have to genetic engineering and GM crops.
- D. Terminology mix-up: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Variation and evolution / Genetic engineering.
Answer
The correct option is Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Genetic engineering because students must describe objections some people have to genetic engineering and GM crops.. 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 Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Genetic engineering because students must describe objections some people have to genetic engineering and GM crops.. Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Genetic engineering because students must describe objections some people have to genetic engineering and GM crops. 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 objections some people have to genetic engineering and GM crops, so the answer must stay inside Genetic engineering. 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
Genetic engineering common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Describe objections some people have to genetic engineering and GM crops..
Answer by clearly explaining how to describe objections some people have to genetic engineering and GM crops..
