    The document outlines a framework for assessing different levels of understanding of genetics concepts, from the most basic level of defining key terms to a deeper level of applying concepts to new contexts, making predictions, and evaluating and generalizing ideas. It provides examples to illustrate each level, from describing the structure of DNA at the basic level to discussing how selective breeding can improve populations at a more advanced level. The levels progress from unistructural, where ideas are described in isolation, to multistructural, where ideas can be described but not linked, to relational, where ideas can be explained, classified, compared and linked, to extended abstract, where ideas can be applied more broadly, predictions can be made and ideas evaluated.
