Variation and evolution
Question
- A. Correct contrast: Mitosis produces identical cells; meiosis produces genetically different gametes. This matches Cloning (biology only) because students must explain potential benefits and risks of cloning in agriculture and medicine and ethical objections.
- B. Reversed contrast: Claiming mitosis produces gametes. This would blur Mitosis vs meiosis instead of testing Cloning (biology only).
- C. Over-broad contrast: Forgetting chromosome number is maintained in mitosis but halved in meiosis. This misses the objective focus on explain potential benefits and risks of cloning in agriculture and medicine and ethical objections.
- D. Unrelated contrast: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Variation and evolution / Cloning (biology only).
Answer
The correct option is Correct contrast: Mitosis produces identical cells; meiosis produces genetically different gametes. This matches Cloning (biology only) because students must explain potential benefits and risks of cloning in agriculture and medicine and ethical objections.. It is the only option that keeps Mitosis vs meiosis separate and answers the approved learning objective in Cloning (biology only).
Explanation
The correct option is Correct contrast: Mitosis produces identical cells; meiosis produces genetically different gametes. This matches Cloning (biology only) because students must explain potential benefits and risks of cloning in agriculture and medicine and ethical objections.. Correct contrast: Mitosis produces identical cells; meiosis produces genetically different gametes. This matches Cloning (biology only) because students must explain potential benefits and risks of cloning in agriculture and medicine and ethical objections. is correct because Mitosis produces identical cells; meiosis produces genetically different gametes. The learning objective says students must explain potential benefits and risks of cloning in agriculture and medicine and ethical objections, so the answer must stay inside Cloning (biology only). The alternative options are wrong because they either claiming mitosis produces gametes., forgetting chromosome number is maintained in mitosis but halved in meiosis., or drift away from meiosis questions must focus on gametes, halved chromosome number, sexual reproduction, or variation..
Common mistake
Cloning (biology only) common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain potential benefits and risks of cloning in agriculture and medicine and ethical objections..
Answer by clearly explaining how to explain potential benefits and risks of cloning in agriculture and medicine and ethical objections..
