IGCSE Biology - 3a Reproduction - Flowering Plants

£1.99

New Edexcel IGCSE 9-1 4BI1 syllabus for 2017 first examined in 2019


Section 3a Reproduction - Flowering Plants


  • 3.3 describe the structures of an insect-pollinated and a wind-pollinated flower and explain how each is adapted for pollination

IGCSE Biology - 3b Inheritance - DNA and Genes

£1.99

New Edexcel IGCSE 9-1 4BI1 syllabus for 2017 first examined in 2019


Section 3b Inheritance - DNA and Genes


  • 3.14 understand that the genome is the entire DNA of an organism and that a gene is a section of a molecule of DNA that codes for a specific protein
  • 3.15 understand that the nucleus of a cell contains chromosomes on which genes are located
  • 3.16B describe a DNA molecule as two strands coiled to form a double helix, the strands being linked by a series of paired bases: adenine (A) with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) with guanine (G)
  • 3.17B understand that an RNA molecule is single stranded and contains uracil (U) instead of thymine (T)
  • 3.18B describe the stages of protein synthesis including transcription andtranslation, including the role of mRNA, ribosomes, tRNA, codons and anticodons

IGCSE Biology - 3b Inheritance - Genetics

£1.99

New Edexcel IGCSE 9-1 4BI1 syllabus for 2017 first examined in 2019


Section 3b Inheritance - Genetics


  • 3.19 understand how genes exist in alternative forms called alleles which give rise to differences in inherited characteristics
  • 3.20 understand the meaning of the terms: dominant, recessive, homozygous, heterozygous, phenotype, and genotype
  • 3.21B understand the meaning of the term codominance
  • 3.22 understand that most phenotypic features are the result of polygenic inheritance rather than single genes
  • 3.23 describe patterns of monohybrid inheritance using a genetic diagram
  • 3.24 understand how to interpret family pedigrees
  • 3.25 predict probabilities of outcomes from monohybrid crosses
  • 3.26 understand how the sex of a person is controlled by one pair of chromosomes, XX in a female and XY in a male
  • 3.27 describe the determination of the sex of offspring at fertilisation, using a genetic diagram

IGCSE Biology - 3b Inheritance - Cell Division

£1.50

New Edexcel IGCSE 9-1 4BI1 syllabus for 2017 first examined in 2019


Section 3b Inheritance - Cell Division


  • 3.28 understand how division of a diploid cell by mitosis produces two cells that contain identical sets of chromosomes
  • 3.29 understand that mitosis occurs during growth, repair, cloning and asexual reproduction
  • 3.30 understand how division of a cell by meiosis produces four cells, each with half the number of chromosomes, and that this results in the formation of genetically different haploid gametes
  • 3.31 understand how random fertilisation produces genetic variation of offspring
  • 3.32 know that in human cells the diploid number of chromosomes is 46 and the haploid number is 23

IGCSE Biology - 3b Inheritance - Variation and Mutation

£1.50

New Edexcel IGCSE 9-1 4BI1 syllabus for 2017 first examined in 2019


Section 3b Inheritance - Variation and Mutation


  • 3.33 understand that variation within a species can be genetic, environmental, or a combination of both
  • 3.34 understand that mutation is a rare, random change in genetic material that can be inherited
  • 3.35B understand how a change in DNA can affect the phenotype by altering the sequence of amino acids in a protein
  • 3.36B understand how most genetic mutations have no effect on the phenotype, some have a small effect and rarely do they have a significant effect
  • 3.37B understand that the incidence of mutations can be increased by exposure to ionising radiation (for example, gamma rays, x-rays and ultraviolet rays) and some chemical mutagens (for example, chemicals in tobacco)
