Edexcel GCSE Biology: Genetics and inheritance bundle

Follow a chromosome through meiosis, extract material from fruit and use inheritance diagrams to test predictions. A separate Human Genome Project lesson asks what a reference sequence can tell us.

Includes 7 editable PowerPoint lessons. Each has a timed lesson plan, a suggested practical or modelling activity, a printable pupil sheet and teacher answers. The topic roadmap shows the sequence and equipment.

Lessons included

1. Meiosis and the formation of gametes
2. DNA structure and fruit extraction
3. Genes alleles and phenotypes
4. Inheritance diagrams and pedigrees
5. Mutations and their effects
6. The Human Genome Project
7. Genetic and environmental variation

The seven lessons cover the Edexcel Combined Science Topic 3 sequence. The DNA activity explains fruit extraction; inheritance includes a fictional pedigree and typical XX/XY cross. The dedicated Human Genome Project lesson uses a separate source presentation. The pupil sheets and keys use new examples throughout.

Bought separately the lessons total £7. The topic pack is £4.

The pack also includes 8 independently written practice sheets with separate teacher answers. The sheets are filed with the lessons that use them.
