This fully editable PowerPoint presentation covers the entire of Topic 8 from the Edexcel Biology B A Level course. How are mutations the source of new variations and how do the processes of random assortment and crossing over during meiosis give rise to new combinations of alleles in gametes? How does random fertilisation during sexual reproduction bring about genetic variation? Understand the terms ‘genotype and phenotype’,’ homozygote and heterozygote’, ‘dominance’, ‘recessive’, ‘codominance’ and ‘multiple alleles’. Be able to construct genetic crosses and pedigree diagrams. Can you explain sex linkage on the X chromosome, including haemophilia in Humans? Can you explain the inheritance of two non-interacting unlinked genes? Do you understand that autosomal linkage results from the presence of alleles on the same chromosome and that the results of crosses can be explained by the events of meiosis, including black/grey body and long/vestigial wing in Drosophila? Can you use the chi squared test to test the significance of the difference between observed and expected results? Understand that selection pressures acting on the gene pool change allele frequencies in the population, including: ●Stabilising selection maintaining continuity in a population ●Disruptive selection leading to changes or speciation. Understand that sometimes changes in allele frequencies can be the result of chance and not selection, including genetic drift. Understand that allele frequencies can be influenced by: ● population bottlenecks ● founder effect. Understand how the Hardy-Weinberg equation can be used to monitor changes in the allele frequencies in a population.

A Level Biology Topic 7 - Modern Genetics Edexcel Biology B PowerPoint presentation of over 100 slides covering the whole topic This topic builds on the knowledge of nucleic acids and proteins and how they are involved in gene expression. Knowledge of epigenetics, the use of stem cells and how these are contributing to medical advances are considered. The ethical implications of the use of gene technology in scientific developments are discussed. 7.1 Using gene sequencing 7.2 Factors affecting gene expression 7.3 Stem cells 7.4 Gene technology

A complete PowerPoint lesson to cover this entire topic in Edexcel GCSE Biology 9-1.

Topic 9 GCSE Biology: Ecosystems and material cycles presentation is a fully editable PowerPoint which is over 100 slides long!

This PowerPoint covers every topic, every core practical, every syllabus objective you need to know from the Edexcel IGCSE 9-1 Syllabus (4BI1) It is an incredible 864 slides long!! It is entirely editable so you can chop and change it to meet your scheme of work! Custom drawn simple diagrams and incredible animations. Every topic has some true false statements and an exam style question with answers at the end to check understanding. Simple colour coding to show what is in Dual (green slides) and what is the extra for separate Biology (orange slides). This is a fully updated version of my best selling resource for the old Edexcel IGCSE syllabus. This file is over 200MB so make sure you have a decent internet connection when you download it!
