Variation and evolution
Question
- A. Correct cause and effect: Mitosis maintains chromosome number; meiosis halves chromosome number. This matches Selective breeding because students must identify useful or appearance-based traits selected by humans, including disease resistance, more meat or milk, gentle dog nature and large or unusual flowers.
- B. Reversed cause: Claiming meiosis is used for body growth. This would blur Mitosis vs meiosis instead of testing Selective breeding.
- C. Missing link: Claiming mitosis produces gametes. This misses the objective focus on identify useful or appearance-based traits selected by humans, including disease resistance, more meat or milk, gentle dog nature and large or unusual flowers.
- 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: Mitosis maintains chromosome number; meiosis halves chromosome number. This matches Selective breeding because students must identify useful or appearance-based traits selected by humans, including disease resistance, more meat or milk, gentle dog nature and large or unusual flowers.. 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 Correct cause and effect: Mitosis maintains chromosome number; meiosis halves chromosome number. This matches Selective breeding because students must identify useful or appearance-based traits selected by humans, including disease resistance, more meat or milk, gentle dog nature and large or unusual flowers.. Correct cause and effect: Mitosis maintains chromosome number; meiosis halves chromosome number. This matches Selective breeding because students must identify useful or appearance-based traits selected by humans, including disease resistance, more meat or milk, gentle dog nature and large or unusual flowers. is correct because Mitosis maintains chromosome number; meiosis halves chromosome number. The learning objective says students must identify useful or appearance-based traits selected by humans, including disease resistance, more meat or milk, gentle dog nature and large or unusual flowers, so the answer must stay inside Selective breeding. The alternative options are wrong because they either claiming meiosis is used for body growth., claiming mitosis produces gametes., or drift away from mitosis questions must focus on identical cells, growth, repair, asexual reproduction, or maintained chromosome number..
Common mistake
Selective breeding common mistake 1
Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Identify useful or appearance-based traits selected by humans, including disease resistance, more meat or milk, gentle dog nature and large or unusual flowers..
Answer by clearly explaining how to identify useful or appearance-based traits selected by humans, including disease resistance, more meat or milk, gentle dog nature and large or unusual flowers..
