This is a fully-resourced revision lesson that uses a combination of exam questions, understanding checks, quick tasks and quiz competitions to enable students to assess their understanding of the content found within Topic 6 (Immunity, infection and forensics) of the Pearson Edexcel A-level Biology A specification.
The sub-topics and specification points that are tested within the lesson include:
- Know how DNA profiling is used for identification and determining genetic relationships
- Know how DNA can be amplified using the PCR
- Know the structure of a virus
- Understand how HIV infects human cells, causing a sequence of symptoms that may result in death
- Understand the non-specific responses of the body to infection
- Understand the roles of antigens and antibodies in the body’s immune response
- Understand the differences between the roles of B cells and T cells
- Understand how one gene can give rise to more than one protein through post-transcriptional changes
- Understand the difference between bacteriostatic and bactericidal antibiotics
Students will be engaged through the numerous quiz rounds such as “FROM NUMBERS 2 LETTERS” and “Make sure you are very SPECIFIC” whilst crucially being able to recognise those areas which require their further attention during general revision or during the lead up to the actual A-level terminal exams
