Topic overview check sheet for use when peer-marking student overview of this topic. I give these out and usually give my classes a week to hand write their notes (unless they have access to word processor in examinations) and complete the exam style questions from the text book.

PowerPoint introducing the topic and detailing gene mutations at AS level. Contains a few chances for students to use the codon table to identify the amino acid sequences. Sickle cell anaemia is used as an example of a genetic mutation and where possible, there are links to previously taught year 1 material (i.e. drawing a labelled amino acid). The PPT contains notes with most of the answers to the questions on the PPT. This resource is designed to be used with the class notes for this topic.

PowerPoint detailing the structure of mRNA and tRNA. Really focuses on the correct use of terminology in this lesson, and the students ability to use the codon table. There's a short quiz at the end. Where possible, there are links to previously taught year 1 material. The PPT contains notes with most of the answers to the questions on the PPT. This resource is designed to be used with the class notes for this topic.

PowerPoint detailing transcription and splicing. Also included is a student version you can upload to your VLE, which doesn't contain all the answers. There's an introduction to transcription and translation, focusing on the locations where these occur and then a few short animations to show transcription. Where possible, there are links to previously taught year 1 material (i.e. drawing a labelled amino acid). The PPT contains notes with most of the answers to the questions on the PPT. This resource is designed to be used with the class notes for this topic.

PowerPoint introducing Adaptation and introducing a key component of natural selection. Contains a quick quiz to begin on cell division and then a card sort to consider reproductive success and allele frequency. Not my finest work, hence the price, but offered her primarily to accompany the class notes and to be included / available as part of the topic bundle.

A lot of work has gone into this, hence the price! PowerPoint detailing meiosis along with a few card sort activities. Although students do not need to know the stages of meiosis, I use this an an opportunity to recap mitosis and to think about the differences between mitosis and meiosis, and the differences between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2. I have the cards printed on different colours, corresponding to those on the PPT background for meiosis 1 & 2. Crssing over and independent segregation are also detailed with animations and non-disjunction is also considered. There's 10 questions near the end of the PPT, which are on the worksheet for this lesson (available separately on TES), but the answers are provided here. Where possible, there are links to previously taught year 1 material (i.e. mitosis, DNA, haploid, diploid terminology, etc). The PPT contains notes with most of the answers to the questions on the PPT. This resource is designed to be used with the class notes for this topic.

PowerPoint introducing Autosomal linkage. The PPT contains notes with most of the answers to the questions on the PPT. There is a review of meiosis before getting into lesson content. The PPT introduces autosomal linkage, but then reviews dihybrid inheritance assuming no linkage, before students complete crosses with autosomal linkage (so they can identify how linkage affects the ratios of the genotype/phenotype) This resource is designed to be used with the class notes for this topic (available separately on TES) and requires students to have access to both AQA endorsed text books (T&T and BIR).

Short PowerPoint introducing epistasis. The PPT contains notes with most of the answers to the questions on the PPT. This resource is designed to be used with the class notes for this topic (available separately on TES) and requires students to have access to both AQA endorsed text books (T&T and BIR).

Very short PowerPoint introducing chi-squared. This resource should not be purchased separately and is only available so it can be included as part of the bundle of the topic. It is designed to be used with the class notes for this topic (available separately on TES) and requires students to have access to both AQA endorsed text books (T&T and BIR).

Class notes to accompany the PowerPoints available on TES for this topic. These will save you hours and hours of preparation! Contains gap fill paragraphs, questions, images, past exam questions and more. Marking guidelines also included.

PowerPoint introducing monohybrid inheritance. The PPT contains notes with most of the answers to the questions on the PPT. This resource is designed to be used with the class notes for this topic (available separately on TES)

Short PowerPoint introducing dihybrid inheritance. The PPT contains notes with most of the answers to the questions on the PPT. This resource is designed to be used with the class notes for this topic (available separately on TES) and requires students to have access to both AQA endorsed text books (T&T and BIR).

Short PowerPoint introducing co-dominance & multiple alleles. The PPT contains notes with most of the answers to the questions on the PPT. This resource is designed to be used with the class notes for this topic (available separately on TES) and requires students to have access to both AQA endorsed text books (T&T and BIR).

Pre-work for Section 7 Topic 17: Inherited changes. This contains links to videos and websites and is designed to help stimulate student interest, but also to help student's to become familiar with the terminology required and processes contained within this topic. It makes reference to a topic glossary, which is included as part of the folder dividers for these sections. Autosomal linkage and Epistasis are not included in this pre-work.

PowerPoint introducing sex-linkage &pedigree charts. The PPT contains notes with most of the answers to the questions on the PPT. This resource is designed to be used with the class notes for this topic (available separately on TES) and requires students to have access to both AQA endorsed text books (T&T and BIR).

Detailed PowerPoint containing a starter question before insertion, transformation and the identification of the desired gene/protein are outlined. Where possible, there are links to previously taught material. The PPT contains (a few) notes with questions and answers. This resource has taken a long time to perfect (hence the price) and is designed to be used with the class notes for this topic.

PowerPoint about the polymerase chain reaction. Includes a video showing the shedding of skin cells, an animation to show the molecular processes of PCR and then includes a few activities for students to complete.
