Question

  1. A. Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Cloning (biology only) because students must explain that embryo cells from adult cell cloning contain the same genetic information as the adult body cell.
  2. 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 Cloning (biology only).
  3. C. Partial misconception: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This misses the objective focus on explain that embryo cells from adult cell cloning contain the same genetic information as the adult body cell.
  4. 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: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Cloning (biology only) because students must explain that embryo cells from adult cell cloning contain the same genetic information as the adult body cell.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Cloning (biology only).

Explanation

The correct option is Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Cloning (biology only) because students must explain that embryo cells from adult cell cloning contain the same genetic information as the adult body cell.. Misconception avoided: A DNA base sequence is the storage format; a gene is the named instruction unit. This matches Cloning (biology only) because students must explain that embryo cells from adult cell cloning contain the same genetic information as the adult body cell. 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 that embryo cells from adult cell cloning contain the same genetic information as the adult body cell, so the answer must stay inside Cloning (biology only). 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

Cloning (biology only) common mistake 1

Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain that embryo cells from adult cell cloning contain the same genetic information as the adult body cell..

Answer by clearly explaining how to explain that embryo cells from adult cell cloning contain the same genetic information as the adult body cell..
