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 explain concerns about effects of GM crops on wild flowers, insects and human health.
- 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 explain concerns about effects of GM crops on wild flowers, insects and human health.
- 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 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 Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Genetic engineering because students must explain concerns about effects of GM crops on wild flowers, insects and human health.. Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Genetic engineering because students must explain concerns about effects of GM crops on wild flowers, insects and human health. is correct because A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. 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 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: 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..
