This review tool for the STAAR EOC Biology exam. There is a differentiated version and it can be used as a booklet. This review covers all readiness and supporting TEKS for Bio 6 and Bio 7: Gene Expression and Principles of Genetics

BIO 7: The role of nucleic acids in gene expression
TEKS B.7 included and clearly outlined.
2 pages- B.7 (A) Identify components of DNA, identify how the nucleotide sequence specifies some traits of an organism, and examine scientific explanations for the origin of DNA.
4 pages- B.7 (B) Describe the significance of gene expression and explain the process of protein synthesis using models of DNA and RNA.
2 pages- B.7 (C) Identify and illustrate changes in DNA and evaluate the significance of these changes
1 pages- B.7 (D)- Discuss the importance of molecular technologies such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), gel electrophoresis, and genetic engineering that are applicable in current research and engineering practices.

BIO 8: Principles of Inheritance
TEKS B.8 included and clearly outlined.
2 pages- B.8 (A)- Analyze the significance of chromosome reduction, independent assortment, and crossing‐over during meiosis in increasing diversity in populations of organisms that reproduce sexually
2 pages- B.8 (B)- Predict possible outcomes of various genetic combinations using monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, including non‐Mendelian traits of incomplete dominance, codominance, sex‐linked traits, and multiple alleles.

13 student pages included.

An alternate differentiated version is available that has guided answers.

Answer key is included.
