LC Biology HL: Genetic Crosses Masterclass – Maximise Your Marks

Delivered by a Leaving Certificate Higher Level Biology examiner

This 75-minute Higher Level Leaving Certificate Biology masterclass focuses on genetic crosses, one of the most common areas where students lose marks in the exam.

The session is designed to be highly exam-focused and based on real exam questions and marking schemes. Rather than general revision, the class will focus on how to approach genetic cross questions correctly and how to avoid the common mistakes that cost marks every year.

Students will receive a set of notes and exam-style questions in advance. They are encouraged to review these before the session so that the live class can focus on exam technique, accuracy, and maximising marks.

During the session, we will cover:

• Interpreting genetic cross questions correctly

• Setting up parent genotypes and gametes

• Solving Higher Level genetic crosses step-by-step

• Matching genotypes to phenotypes accurately

• Dihybrid crosses and incomplete dominance

• Common mistakes that lead to loss of marks

• How marks are awarded using examiner-style insight

This is a structured, exam-focused session designed to improve confidence, accuracy, and performance in genetic cross questions.
