This PowerPoint activity is suitable for revision at the end of a senior genetics topic, or individual questions could be used during teaching of subtopics. It has questions on: Pedigree charts Monohybrid inheritance Dihybrid inheritance Mutations ABO blood groups (co-dominance) Incomplete dominance Sex-linkage Cross over frequencies

Powerpoint of Immune Defences aimed at Years 10-12 Based on QCAA syllabus: • understand how pathogens (bacterial and viral) can cause both physical and chemical changes in host cells that stimulate the host immune responses (introduction of foreign chemicals via the surface of the pathogen, production of toxins, recognition of self and non-self) • recognise that all plants and animals have innate immune responses (general/non-specific) and that vertebrates also have adaptive (specific) immune responses • recall examples of physical defence strategies (barriers and leaf structures) and chemical defence strategies (plant defensins and production of toxins) of plants in response to the presence of pathogens • recall that the innate immune response in vertebrates comprises surface barriers (skin, mucus and cilia), inflammation and the complement system • describe the inflammatory response (prostaglandins, vasodilation, phagocytes) and the role of the complement system • explain the adaptive immune responses in vertebrates — humoral (production of antibodies by B lymphocytes) and cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) — and recognise that memory cells are produced in both situations • interpret long-term immune response data • analyse the differences and similarities between passive immunity (antibodies gained via the placenta and via antibody serum injection) and active immunity (acquired via natural exposure to a pathogen or through the use of vaccines) for both naturally and artificially acquired immunity.
