Honors Biology
Final Exam Review June 2014
You must bring your textbook to class on the day of your exam. If you do not have your textbook, you
must bring check for the payment of the book. The check should be made out to MTHS. You must
also bring two #2 pencils and some reading material if you finish early.
There are 100 multiple choice questions and an essay part which will be lab based. The following
references serves as a guide to help you prepare for this exam. You should review old tests, lab tests,
outlines, worksheets, notes and labs.

Chapter 8 Cellular Basis of Reproduction and Inheritance – Sections 1-7, 12-18, 19-22
Chapter 9 Patterns of Inheritance – Sections 1-5, 11-12, 14, 20-23
Chapter 10 Molecular Biology of the Gene – Sections 1-17
