Protein Quaternary Structure diagram
Recognising Protein Quaternary Structure
Protein Quaternary Structure supports The understanding of genetics (biology only) by giving students a diagram they can connect to the specification point being tested.
What To Explain
The membrane is selectively permeable, so substances move across it by diffusion, osmosis or active transport depending on the particle and gradient.
Syllabus Link
Syllabus link: AQA GCSE Biology 8461, The development of understanding of genetics and evolution.
Exam Answer Move
This is linked to: Describe how determining DNA structure and gene function helped develop gene theory. A strong answer names the transport process and links it to membrane structure.
Transcription Factor Rna diagram
Recognising Transcription Factor Rna
Transcription Factor Rna supports The understanding of genetics (biology only) by giving students a diagram they can connect to the specification point being tested.
What To Explain
DNA contains genetic instructions organised into genes and chromosomes, which can be passed from parent to offspring.
Syllabus Link
Syllabus link: AQA GCSE Biology 8461, The development of understanding of genetics and evolution.
Exam Answer Move
This is aligned to: Describe how determining DNA structure and gene function helped develop gene theory. The answer should connect the visual to genetic information, chromosomes, genes or variation.

Exam Answer Move
This is aligned to: Describe how observations of chromosome behaviour in cell division supported inheritance ideas. The answer should connect the visual to genetic information, chromosomes, genes or variation.
DNA Double Helix diagram
What The Diagram Shows
DNA Double Helix is a biology diagram for The development of understanding of genetics and evolution. Use it beside the written explanation so the visual supports the exact idea being revised.
What To Explain
The answer should connect the visible structure or process to the biological function named in the specification point.

Common Trap
Do not describe the diagram only as a picture. State the concept, then explain what the pattern, relationship, structure, or graph means.
