These are the themes and topics that will be covered in your semester exam. Please study them
extensively as they might be part of multiple choice or they might not. If they are not a multiple choice
questions they will definitely required explaining, labeling, and drawing. The sooner you start studying,
the better. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck!

RECCOMENDATIONS

 Organize all of your worksheets, labs and quizzes


 Match the quizzes to the notes on your binder/notebook
 Make flashcards of vocabulary
 Re-print graphs and label them without looking at your notes
 Draw and color code things like the cell, the phases of mitosis and meiosis, and
karyotypes
