UNIT 1: GENETICS
 Cell Cycle: interphase, mitosis or meiosis, cytokinesis
 Steps of mitosis vs. steps of meiosis (prophase I and II, anaphase I and II, metaphase I
and II, telophase I and II)
 Genetic variation: independent assortment, crossing over
 Karyotype
 Phenotype vs. genotype
 Genetic disorders e.g. Trisomy 21
 Body cell, gametes
 Diploid, haploid, n, 2n
 Chromatin, chromosomes, homologous chromosomes, sister chromatids, tetrad
 DNA structure and function
 Complementary base pairing
 Mendelian and Non-Mendelian genetics
o recessive trait, dominant trait, phenotype, genotype, homozygous, heterozygous, allele, gene
o monohybrid cross, dihybrid cross, sex-linkage
o incomplete dominance and codominance, multiple alleles
UNIT 2: EVOLUTION
 Evolutionary theory
 Darwin’s theory of natural selection
 Lamarck’s theory of acquired characteristics
 Types of mutations
 Adaptation and Examples of Adaptation; Adaptive radiation
 Natural Selection vs. Artificial selection
 Evidence for evolution: artificial selection (selective breeding), biogeography, fossil record,
comparative anatomy (homologous, analogous, vestigal structures), divergent, convergent, parallel
evolution, genetic evidence (DNA, amino acids), industrial melanism, embryology
 Hardy-Weinberg principle
 Factors/Mechanisms that cause evolution/speciation: genetic drift (founder effect, bottleneck effect),
gene flow, non-random mating, mutations, natural selection
 Patterns of selection from selective pressures: stabilizing, directional, disruptive
 Barriers to reproductions/Mechanisms of speciation: allopatric speciation, sympatric speciation
 Prezygotic reproductive isolating mechanisms: ecological, behavioral, temporal, mechanical,
gamete
 Postzygotic isolating mechanisms: reduced hybrid viability, reduced hybrid fertility, hybrid
breakdown
UNIT 3: INTERNAL SYSTEMS
 Mechanical digestion, chemical digestion

Structure and function and location of the digestive system:
all salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, epiglottis, stomach, pyloric and cardiac sphincter, gall bladder,
liver, small intestine( all 3 parts), large intestine, rectum, pancreas, peristalsis, bolus, chyme, gastric
juice, pancreatic juice, bile
Molecules (e.g. bile, bicarbonate, pepsinogen, lipase) used to digest/breakdown proteins, carbohydrates
and lipids

Structure and function of circulatory system: pulmonary and systemic system, label parts of the heart,
pathway of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood flow

Structure and function of respiratory system: nasal cavity, pharynx, trachea, bronchus, bronchioles,
capillaries, alveoli, diaphragm
UNIT 4: PLANTS
 Process of germination (radicle, hypocotyl, plumule, colyledon, micropyle)
 Characteristics and examples of major types angiosperms
 Structure and function of: flower, roots, stems and leaves
 Monocots vs. dicots
 Structure and function of
- Vascular tissue: xylem, phloem, vascular bundles
- Dermal tissue: epidermis, cuticle, stomata, guard cells
-Meristematic tissue: vascular and cork cambium, primary vs. secondary growth
-Ground tissue: sclerenchyma, collenchyma, parenchyma
 Word equation of cellular respiration and photosynthesis
 Structure and Function (cross section) of:
-monocot stem, herbaceous dicot stem, woody stem, leaf, root
 Formation of wood
 Describe how water and minerals move from soil to the leaves using root pressure, capillary action
and transpirations, and explain the role of active transport, osmosis, the Casparian strip, cohesion,
adhesion, guard cells, and stomata in these processes
 Water transport: bulk flow, root pressure, adhesion and cohesion, transpiration
UNIT 5: DIVERSITY OF LIVING THINGS
 Taxonomic levels: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
 Binomial nomenclature & writing scientific names, e.g. Homo sapiens or Homo Sapiens
 Characteristics and examples of organisms in all six kingdoms (chart)
 Making a dichotomous key
