AL Biology: Gene Technology LESSON SLIDES

Everything you need to deliver the unit of gene technology for A level Biology (82 slides)
It follows Cambridge syllabus (9700) but it is easily adaptable to others.
The topic is divided in 5 parts:

1. Genetic engineering: introduction to the topic.
2. Tools for Gene technology: restriction enzymes, DNA ligase, promoters, vectors, markers, electrophoresis and PCR explained. Bioinformatics and the need to deal with the information.
3. Genetic technology and medicine: proteins for medicinal uses and genetic screening.
4. Gene therapy: studying the case of cystic fibrosis
5. Gene technology and agriculture: GMOs crops and animals and social implications.
   There are two extra power points:
6. Power point with activities for revision using past papers.
7. Power point with revision using videos.
   Check the slides’ notes as some of them have background information, links or suggestions for activities.
