Variation and evolution

Question

  1. A. Definition boundary: 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.
  2. B. Scale confusion: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Genetic engineering.
  3. C. Process confusion: 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.
  4. D. Evidence confusion: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Variation and evolution / Genetic engineering.

Answer

The correct option is Definition boundary: 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 Definition boundary: 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.. Definition boundary: 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..
