This is a fully-resourced revision resource which has been designed to encourage students to evaluate their understanding of the content in TOPIC 4 of the AQA A-level Biology specification (Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms) . The resource includes an engaging PowerPoint (96 slides) and associated worksheets, some of which have been differentiated to allow those struggling with the content to access the work.
The wide range of activities which includes exam questions, quick tasks and quiz competitions will motivate the students whilst they assess their knowledge and recognise those areas which require even further attention. The lesson has been designed to cover as many sub-topics as possible but the following have been given particular attention:
- Classification hierarchy
- DNA in prokaryotes and eukaryotes
- The binomial naming system
- Phylogeny
- Modern day classification using biological molecules
- Calculating biodiversity
- Selection pressures and types of selections
- Transcription
- Gene mutations
- Physiological, behavioural and anatomical adaptations
- Meiosis and variation
- Non-disjunction
The mathematical element of this topic and the course is challenged throughout the lesson and helpful hints are regularly provided to help students to structure their answers. This resource can be used as a revision aid at the end of the topic, in the lead up to AS or A2 mocks or in the lead up to the actual terminal A-level exams.
