Variation and evolution
Question
- A. Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Evolution because students must explain that selected individuals are more likely to survive, breed and pass on characteristics.
- B. Scale confusion: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Evolution.
- C. Process confusion: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on explain that selected individuals are more likely to survive, breed and pass on characteristics.
- D. Evidence confusion: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Variation and evolution / Evolution.
Answer
The correct option is Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Evolution because students must explain that selected individuals are more likely to survive, breed and pass on characteristics.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Evolution.
Explanation
The correct option is Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Evolution because students must explain that selected individuals are more likely to survive, breed and pass on characteristics.. Definition boundary: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Evolution because students must explain that selected individuals are more likely to survive, breed and pass on characteristics. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must explain that selected individuals are more likely to survive, breed and pass on characteristics, so the answer must stay inside Evolution. 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
Evolution common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain that selected individuals are more likely to survive, breed and pass on characteristics..
Answer by clearly explaining how to explain that selected individuals are more likely to survive, breed and pass on characteristics..
