Topic 6 Inheritance, variation & evolution model answer revision notes AQA GCSE Biology

Follow my TikTok and Instagram @biologywitholivia to see these notes in action. Any questions please email hello@biologywitholivia.co.uk.

DESCRIPTION

Drawing on my experience as a teacher and extensive analysis of past papers, mark schemes and examiner reports, I’ve created ‘model answer’ notes that cover every point on the AQA specification (including required practicals).

These notes are presented in an easy-to-use Q&A format. Colour coding, diagrams and a simple layout makes learning easy.

After each sub-topic, you’ll find common misconceptions and why they’re wrong, as well as example application questions and model answers.

Having refined these over the last 3 years alongside working as a teacher, I’ve seen first-hand the results they can achieve. I’m confident that they will be an invaluable tool to you.

Included are separate versions for combined science (trilogy) and triple science.
