Variation and evolution
Question
- A. Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Selective breeding because students must explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations.
- B. Reversed cause: Treating DNA as if it always means one gene. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Selective breeding.
- C. Missing link: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This misses the objective focus on explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations.
- D. Different process: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Variation and evolution / Selective breeding.
Answer
The correct option is Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Selective breeding because students must explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Selective breeding.
Explanation
The correct option is Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Selective breeding because students must explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations.. Correct cause and effect: DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. This matches Selective breeding because students must explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations. is correct because DNA is the molecule; a gene is a functional section of that molecule. The learning objective says students must explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations, so the answer must stay inside Selective breeding. 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
Selective breeding common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations..
Answer by clearly explaining how to explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations..
