I've been teaching A-level biology for years and have spent several hours developing resources to the highest possible standard.
They are designed to maximise class time - spending less time on learning facts, with a focus on application and the processing of information.

Class notes to accompany the PowerPoints available on TES for this topic. These will save you hours and hours and hours of preparation! Contains gap fill paragraphs, questions, images, past exam questions and more. Marking guidelines also included.
Short PowerPoint for Gene expression and cancer. There's a few questions about oncogenes and methylation. Where possible, there are links to 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 for Epigenetic control of gene expression. This has taken a while to get together, hence the price! Starts with a quiz, 'guess the scientist' and then introduces epigenetics using the thrifty phenotype hypothesis and the Dutch famine to illustrate the effects. There a few images to get the idea of methylation and acetylation, and their contrasting effects on transcription, but looking at the classic case of Prader-Willi / Angelman syndrome conundrum - these can all be worked through with the class. Where possible, there are links to 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 for less on Regulation of transcription & translation. There's a quick animation showing the effects of oestrogen on transcriptional factors and an activity on siRNA. Where possible, there are links to 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 for stem cells and totipotency. Admittedly, there's nothing about cardiomyocytes (!), but the rest is quite comprehensive. There's a quick video and a few activities about stem cells in plants which can be worked through with the class. Where possible, there are links to 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 reviewing the basics of mutations and introducing the topic. Where possible, there are links to year 1 material, but this introduces the other types of mutations students need to be aware of, and the possible consequences on the polypeptide. 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.
Complete set of PowerPoints, bespoke student class notes, any additional resources and marks schemes for (approximately) eight 1.5 hour lessons covering Year 2 topic no. 17 inherited changes.
These resources have taken several hours to develop and are offered here for a bargain, considering the amount of work that has gone into producing them.
In this bundle, the class notes, PowerPoints and all other resources are fully editable to suit your style of teaching. They make reference to, and may require students to access both the Toole & Toole and AQA A Level Biology Student Book 2 (Lowrie & Smith) for some independent study.
If upon purchasing these resources, you need any support, I'll do my utmost to help.

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).
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).
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).
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).
Short PowerPoint introducing co-dominance & multiple alleles. The PPT contains notes with most of the answers to the questions on the PPT.
