Carlton le Willows learning cycle – GCSE Combined Science (Triple Biology)
Year 10 Spring Term learning cycle 3
Topic
Inheritance
Overarching CCQ
How do I inherit my characteristics from my parents?
Knowledge / skills
areas
Compare and contrast asexual and sexual reproduction
Describe in outline the stages in meiosis and explain how it brings
about variation
Describe the structure of DNA
Describe the layout of genes, chromosomes and the genome as a
whole
Describe the impact of the Human Genome Project
Be able to extract DNA from fruit
Describe the process of information transfer from DNA to proteins
(Higher)
Explain how changes to the strength of a promoter affect transcription
(Higher) and how changes within a gene affect phenotype (Higher)
Explain how characteristics are inherited, including gender.
Understand the terms co-dominance and the effect of multiple alleles.
Explain the inheritance of sex-linked traits (Higher)
Explain the causes of variation within a population and understand that
most mutations have little or no effect on phenotype
Lesson specific CCQs
Why do some organisms reproduce using sex while others do not?
Why are my brothers and sisters different from me?
How can the structure of DNA bring about inheritance?
What is my genome and what does it do?
How can I get DNA from cells?
How do my genes determine my characteristics?
Why doesn’t all of my DNA code for proteins?
Why did Mendel spend so much time with peas?
What is a pedigree diagram?
Why have I got blood group AB?
Why do only boys get Duchene Muscular Dystrophy?
Will mutations turn us into X-men?

Task description
Deadline
PROJECT: Fragile X, Huntington’s Disease and Friedreich's ataxia are
all associated with changes to gene structure but in slightly
different ways. Describe these changes. Note: that this is
challenging project which will really test your understanding.
Set by class teacher.

What are stone tools and how can they be used to chart human evolution?
What is a pentadactyl limb and what does it tell us about animal evolution?
How did 5 kingdoms become 3 domains?
What is selective breeding?
How can we use tissue culture to generate new plants and animals?
The production of insulin by bacteria using genetic engineering. (Higher.)
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using GMOs?
What are we doing to improve food security?
What are the risks of GMOs and selective breeding programmes in agriculture and medicine?
Lesson specific CCQs
What is evolution through natural selection?
How did the theory of evolution come about?
