Question

  1. A. Definition boundary: Mitosis produces identical cells; meiosis produces genetically different gametes. This matches Selective breeding because students must explain that inbreeding can make some breeds prone to disease or inherited defects.
  2. B. Scale confusion: Claiming mitosis produces gametes. This would blur Mitosis vs meiosis instead of testing Selective breeding.
  3. C. Process confusion: Forgetting chromosome number is maintained in mitosis but halved in meiosis. This misses the objective focus on explain that inbreeding can make some breeds prone to disease or inherited defects.
  4. D. Evidence confusion: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Variation and evolution / Selective breeding.

Answer

The correct option is Definition boundary: Mitosis produces identical cells; meiosis produces genetically different gametes. This matches Selective breeding because students must explain that inbreeding can make some breeds prone to disease or inherited defects.. It is the only option that keeps Mitosis vs meiosis separate and answers the approved learning objective in Selective breeding.

Explanation

The correct option is Definition boundary: Mitosis produces identical cells; meiosis produces genetically different gametes. This matches Selective breeding because students must explain that inbreeding can make some breeds prone to disease or inherited defects.. Definition boundary: Mitosis produces identical cells; meiosis produces genetically different gametes. This matches Selective breeding because students must explain that inbreeding can make some breeds prone to disease or inherited defects. is correct because Mitosis produces identical cells; meiosis produces genetically different gametes. The learning objective says students must explain that inbreeding can make some breeds prone to disease or inherited defects, so the answer must stay inside Selective breeding. The alternative options are wrong because they either claiming mitosis produces gametes., forgetting chromosome number is maintained in mitosis but halved in meiosis., or drift away from meiosis questions must focus on gametes, halved chromosome number, sexual reproduction, or variation..

Common mistake

Selective breeding common mistake 1

Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain that inbreeding can make some breeds prone to disease or inherited defects..

Answer by clearly explaining how to explain that inbreeding can make some breeds prone to disease or inherited defects..
