Ensuring smooth progression from GCSE and success in AS and A2 Level Biology

Written to meet the requirements of the new AS/A2 Level Biology specifications, these highly illustrated texts provide full coverage of the AQA/A specification and Edexcel (Option C).

Synoptic questions are provided at the end of the A2 text to test a variety of topics and draw together AS and A2 Biology
• Assessment and revision - summaries, key facts and definitions help students revise, while end-of-chapter questions for all abilities develop exam technique. Answers are provided to all the questions in the texts
