Genetics /Microbiology Final Exam Study Guide
This study guide is to provide you with a listing of topics covered during the second half of the year in
Genetics and Microbiology. It is important for you to know the details of these major concepts and to be
able to relate their importance. As this is a listing of major concepts for your review it is not an all
inclusive of every question on the final exam. Good practice would be to write down what you
remember about each topic and then to review your notes, ppts, worksheets, study guides, labs, and
textbook sections to clarify as needed.
