Variation and evolution
Question
- A. Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Genetic engineering because students must explain that GM crops may be resistant to insect attack or herbicides and may have increased yields.
- B. Reversed cause: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Genetic engineering.
- C. Missing link: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This misses the objective focus on explain that GM crops may be resistant to insect attack or herbicides and may have increased yields.
- D. Different process: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Variation and evolution / Genetic engineering.
Answer
The correct option is Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Genetic engineering because students must explain that GM crops may be resistant to insect attack or herbicides and may have increased yields.. 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 cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Genetic engineering because students must explain that GM crops may be resistant to insect attack or herbicides and may have increased yields.. Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Genetic engineering because students must explain that GM crops may be resistant to insect attack or herbicides and may have increased yields. is correct because DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. The learning objective says students must explain that GM crops may be resistant to insect attack or herbicides and may have increased yields, so the answer must stay inside Genetic engineering. The alternative options are wrong because they either treating dna as if it always means one gene., calling a gene a whole chromosome., or drift away from when asking about dna, test molecular structure, base sequence, nucleotides, or genetic information storage..
Common mistake
Genetic engineering common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain that GM crops may be resistant to insect attack or herbicides and may have increased yields..
Answer by clearly explaining how to explain that GM crops may be resistant to insect attack or herbicides and may have increased yields..
