AP Biology Semester 2 Final Review Sheet
(Genetics, Genetic Engineering, Biotechnology, Evolution, Ecology, Physiology,
Cell Communication)
For the Final: You can bring in one piece of paper no larger than 8 ½ x 11 inches (standard
size). It can contain any information you would like as long as it is hand-written. No photocoping allowed. No pop-outs or fold-outs that increase the surface area of your paper. You
can hand-draw pictures, but cannot cutout pictures from the internet or use previously drawn
pictures.
