AQA AS Biology mock draft, 26–31 Oct. Draft coverage: Biology AS Paper 1. Reviewed for an original-practice sitting; check student availability before registering. Marking and results will follow later, after separate approval. Eligible new accounts receive a five-day Pro trial when signup email verification completes. Previous trials keep their original expiry. After expiry, new papers need Pro unless you have an explicitly confirmed free sitting offer for this event. That offer adds no Pro time or AI learning. Saved attempts and released results remain readable. No card or automatic charge.

Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms covers DNA, genes and chromosomes, DNA and protein synthesis, Genetic diversity can arise as a result of mutation or during meiosis, and Genetic diversity and adaptation in AS Level AQA Biology. 19 lessons in 7 subtopics.
A gene is a base sequence of DNA that codes for the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide or a functional RNA, such as tRNA or rRNA. The DNA, Genes, and the Genetic Code notes cover this in full.
A chromosome is a single, very long, linear DNA molecule associated with histone proteins, found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. The DNA Organisation: Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes notes cover this in full.
Biodiversity is the variety of living organisms in a given area, including the number of different species and the relative abundance of individuals within those species. The Understanding Biodiversity and its Calculation notes cover this in full.
Integrated pest management is a compromise between farming and conservation in which pesticides are used only when pest populations exceed economic thresholds. The Farming's Impact on Biodiversity notes cover this in full.
A diploid cell contains two complete sets of chromosomes (2n), while a haploid cell contains one set (n). The Meiosis & Genetic Variation notes cover this in full.
A taxon is a named group at any level within a classification hierarchy, such as a species, a genus or a family. The Phylogenetic Classification: Organising Life notes cover this in full.
Mitosis has one division and produces two diploid daughter cells genetically identical to the parent, for growth, repair and asexual reproduction. The Meiosis & Genetic Variation notes cover this in full.
A pilot study is a small preliminary investigation done before the full investigation. The Quantitative Sampling Techniques notes cover this in full.
