PowerPoint for topic 7.2 Factors affecting gene expression of A Level Biology Edexcel B i Know that transcription factors are proteins that bind to DNA. ii Understand the role of transcription factors in regulating gene expression. iii Understand how post–transcription modification of mRNA in eukaryotic cells (RNA splicing) can result in different products from a single gene. iv Understand that gene expression can be changed by epigenetic modification, including non-coding RNA, histone modification and DNA methylation. v Know that epigenetic modification is important in ensuring cell differentiation.

This is a fully editable PowerPoint covering the following: Understand that the classification of viruses is based on structure and nucleic acid types as illustrated by λ (lambda) phage (DNA), tobacco mosaic virus and Ebola (RNA) and human immunodeficiency virus (RNA retrovirus). Know the lytic cycle of a virus and latency. Know that viruses are not living cells and so antivirals must work by inhibiting virus replication. Know that as viruses can be difficult to treat once infection has occurred, the focus of disease control should be on preventing the spread, as exemplified by the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Be able to evaluate the ethical implications of using untested drugs during epidemics.
