A Science teacher by trade, I've also been known to be found teaching Maths and PE! However, strange as it may seem, my real love is designing resources that can be used by other teachers to maximise the experience of the students. I am constantly thinking of new ways to engage a student with a topic and try to implement that in the design of the lessons.

Genetic diagrams and phenotypic ratios (OCR A-level Biology A module 6.1.2 [b])

6 Resources
Each of the 6 lessons within this bundle are fully-resourced and cover the content of point (b) of module 6.1.2 of the OCR A-level Biology A specification which states that students should be able to use genetic diagrams and phenotypic ratios to show patterns of inheritance and explain linkage and epistasis. Students are guided through the construction of the genetic diagrams for the inheritance of one or two genes and are shown how to analyse the phenotypic ratio to determine whether linkage has occurred or whether a gene interaction is involved.
