Variation and evolution

Question

  1. A. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Genetic engineering because students must explain that genetic engineering can give an organism a desired characteristic.
  2. B. Reversed contrast: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Genetic engineering.
  3. C. Over-broad contrast: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on explain that genetic engineering can give an organism a desired characteristic.
  4. 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 that genetic engineering can give an organism a desired characteristic.. 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 that genetic engineering can give an organism a desired characteristic.. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Genetic engineering because students must explain that genetic engineering can give an organism a desired characteristic. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must explain that genetic engineering can give an organism a desired characteristic, 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 that genetic engineering can give an organism a desired characteristic..

Answer by clearly explaining how to explain that genetic engineering can give an organism a desired characteristic..
