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 explain concerns about effects of GM crops on wild flowers, insects and human health.
  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 explain concerns about effects of GM crops on wild flowers, insects and human health.
  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 explain concerns about effects of GM crops on wild flowers, insects and human health.. 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 explain concerns about effects of GM crops on wild flowers, insects and human health.. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Genetic engineering because students must explain concerns about effects of GM crops on wild flowers, insects and human health. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must explain concerns about effects of GM crops on wild flowers, insects and human health, 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: Explain concerns about effects of GM crops on wild flowers, insects and human health..

Answer by clearly explaining how to explain concerns about effects of GM crops on wild flowers, insects and human health..
