Week 1
Describe the structural features of DNA and explain their relationship to DNA’s function Understand the function of the three main forms of RNA (mRNA, rRNA and tRNA) and identify the key differences between RNA and DNA Describe the steps in transcription, RNA processing, and translation Evaluate scientific models of the gene expression process and recognise their role in communicating scientific concepts
34  cards
Week 2
I can decode an mRNA sequence using a codon table. I can recognise and label models of the four levels of protein structure I can explain the pathway that a protein takes as it is secreted from a cell.
21  cards
Week 3
I can recognise the different parts of eukaryotic and prokaryotic genes and explain what they do. I can explain how the results of modelling the trp operon relate to the cellular processes that regulate it
8  cards
Week 4
I can demonstrate the use of ligase and restriction enzymes to manipulate DNA. I can explain the use of recombinant plasmids as vectors to transform bacterial cells as demonstrated by the production of human insulin. I can explore the ethical considerations of a bioethical issue.
21  cards
Week 5
I can explain how transgenic organisms are used in agriculture to increase crop productivity. I can summarise the function of CRISPR-Cas9 using words and diagrams. I can explore the ethical considerations of a bioethical issue.
10  cards
Week 6
I can amplify DNA using polymerase chain reaction technique and run it through a gel electrophoresis rig. I can interpret a gel run to estimate the size of DNA fragments and determine the relatedness of individuals' samples. I can explore the ethical considerations of a bioethical issue.
