Variation and evolution
Question
- A. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Genetic engineering because students must explain potential benefits and risks of genetic engineering in medicine.
- B. Reversed contrast: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Genetic engineering.
- C. Over-broad contrast: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on explain potential benefits and risks of genetic engineering in medicine.
- 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 potential benefits and risks of genetic engineering in medicine.. 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 potential benefits and risks of genetic engineering in medicine.. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Genetic engineering because students must explain potential benefits and risks of genetic engineering in medicine. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must explain potential benefits and risks of genetic engineering in medicine, 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 potential benefits and risks of genetic engineering in medicine..
Answer by clearly explaining how to explain potential benefits and risks of genetic engineering in medicine..
