In Vivo and In Vitro (PCR) Cloning A-level Biology Summary Worksheets

Three worksheets covering part of Section 8 of the AQA A-level Biology specification:

1. Producing DNA fragments (reverse transcriptase, restriction endonucleases & gene machines).
2. In vivo cloning (summary of isolation - insertion - transformation - identification - culturing). Please note that a DETAILED EXPLANATION OF SPECIFIC MARKER GENES is NOT INCLUDED in this resource.
3. In vitro cloning / PCR

(Where relevant, a scaffolded gap-fill style version and a blank version is included).

Full answer sheets are included, which could alternatively be used as handouts/revision sheets.

My students love completing these visually appealing worksheets, which break topics down into manageable chunks. Useful as a revision exercise or as a quick assessment.

All worksheets are black and white to allow students to add colour to the diagrams, a process which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories.
