Three worksheets covering part of Section 8 of the AQA A-level Biology specification:

1. Producing DNA fragments (reverse transcriptase, restriction endonucleases & gene machines).
2. In vivo cloning (summary of isolation - insertion - transformation - identification - culturing). Please note that a DETAILED EXPLANATION OF SPECIFIC MARKER GENES is NOT INCLUDED in this resource.
3. In vitro cloning / PCR

(Where relevant, a scaffolded gap-fill style version and a blank version is included).

Full answer sheets are included, which could alternatively be used as handouts/revision sheets.

My students love completing these visually appealing worksheets, which break topics down into manageable chunks. Clean, black-and-white diagrams are ready for students to annotate and colour – an easy way to promote active engagement and aid memory retention through visual learning. Perfect for independent study, homework, revision lessons, or as part of a retrieval practice.
