Notes on Content in Flashcards

Refer to the Specification for official subject content.

Core practicals are listed in the specification under the “Practical Work” sections of each topic. Flashcards for these are included, but if you find them unclear, it’s recommended to study these separately using your notes or revision guides.

Omitted Content

The following specification points are not explicitly covered in the flashcards and must be learnt separately - unless otherwise indicated that they are addressed under earlier specification references.
(When this is the case, the relevant cards are tagged with multiple specification references to ensure filtered decks and searches still work correctly.)

Topic 3

  • 3.15 – Use of genetic diagrams
    → Practice separately using Punnett squares and pedigree analysis.
  • 3.16 – Calculating probabilities, ratios, and percentages related to genetic diagrams

Topic 4

  • 4.14 – Content is covered under earlier specification points in Topic 4

Topic 6

  • 6.14 – Examples reference cacti, as per CGP Biology book

Topic 7

  • 7.04 – Hormonal roles are covered under earlier points in Topic 7

Use a printed specification and textbook as a checklist to ensure full topic coverage if aiming for top marks.
