Variation and evolution
Question
- A. Misconception avoided: Mitosis supports growth and repair; meiosis supports sexual reproduction. This matches Cloning (biology only) because students must explain potential benefits and risks of cloning in agriculture and medicine and ethical objections.
- B. Common misconception: Forgetting chromosome number is maintained in mitosis but halved in meiosis. This would blur Mitosis vs meiosis instead of testing Cloning (biology only).
- C. Partial misconception: Claiming meiosis is used for body growth. This misses the objective focus on explain potential benefits and risks of cloning in agriculture and medicine and ethical objections.
- D. Terminology mix-up: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Variation and evolution / Cloning (biology only).
Answer
The correct option is Misconception avoided: Mitosis supports growth and repair; meiosis supports sexual reproduction. 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 Misconception avoided: Mitosis supports growth and repair; meiosis supports sexual reproduction. This matches Cloning (biology only) because students must explain potential benefits and risks of cloning in agriculture and medicine and ethical objections.. Misconception avoided: Mitosis supports growth and repair; meiosis supports sexual reproduction. 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 supports growth and repair; meiosis supports sexual reproduction. 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 forgetting chromosome number is maintained in mitosis but halved in meiosis., claiming meiosis is used for body growth., or drift away from distractors should contrast purpose, product, and chromosome number..
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..
