Misconceptions
Stored on the entity so worksheets, quizzes and lesson plans all target the same known errors.
Confident students rush applied genetics and skip the checking step.
Correction — Build in an estimate-before-solve routine so an unreasonable answer stands out.
Learners over-generalise a special case of applied genetics to every situation.
Correction — Present a deliberate non-example and ask why the rule fails.
Curriculum alignment
Curricula, boards and countries are data — adding one never changes the architecture.
