Armenia Biology Unified Exam · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Genetics and Heredity & Molecular Biology and Gene Expression

  • Distinguish mitosis from meiosis by comparing chromosome behavior and outcomes

  • Solve monohybrid and dihybrid cross problems using Punnett squares and probability rules

  • Explain the central dogma and identify the roles of mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA in translation

  • Describe the stages of DNA replication and the enzymes involved

Your checkpoint

A one-page summary sheet with 10 solved genetics problems (monohybrid, dihybrid, sex-linked) and a labeled central-dogma diagram

Week 2

Genetics and Heredity & Molecular Biology and Gene Expression

  • Apply the laws of segregation and independent assortment to predict offspring ratios

  • Analyze pedigrees to determine modes of inheritance

  • Transcribe and translate a given DNA sequence into an amino acid chain using a codon table

  • Explain gene regulation and mutation types with examples

Your checkpoint

A completed pedigree analysis set (3 pedigrees) plus a worked transcription/translation exercise with a codon table

Week 3

Cell Biology and Cytology & Metabolism and Energy Transformations

  • Label the organelles of a eukaryotic cell and state each organelle's function

  • Compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structure

  • Describe the stages of cellular respiration and where each occurs

  • Explain the light-dependent and light-independent reactions of photosynthesis

  • Distinguish aerobic from anaerobic metabolism in terms of ATP yield

Your checkpoint

A labeled cell diagram and a comparison table of respiration vs. photosynthesis with ATP yields

Week 4

Cell Biology and Cytology & Metabolism and Energy Transformations & Reproduction, Ontogeny and Developmental Biology

  • Describe the phases of the cell cycle and checkpoints

  • Explain fertilization, cleavage, and gastrulation in early development

  • Compare direct and indirect development with examples

  • Identify the stages of embryogenesis in a representative vertebrate

Your checkpoint

A timeline poster of human embryonic development from fertilization through organogenesis, with labeled stages

Week 5

Zoology: Animal Structure, Physiology and Diversity & Human Anatomy and Physiology

  • Classify major animal phyla by body plan and symmetry

  • Describe the structure and function of the human circulatory and respiratory systems

  • Trace the path of blood through the heart and pulmonary circuit

  • Explain gas exchange at the alveoli

Your checkpoint

A comparative table of 6 animal phyla and a labeled diagram of the human heart and respiratory tract

Week 6

Human Anatomy and Physiology & Zoology: Animal Structure, Physiology and Diversity

  • Describe digestion and absorption along the human alimentary canal

  • Explain nephron function in urine formation

  • Identify the parts of the nervous system and describe reflex arcs

  • Compare endocrine gland hormones and their target effects

Your checkpoint

A systems review sheet covering digestive, excretory, nervous, and endocrine systems with 20 self-test questions and answers

Week 7

Botany: Plant Structure, Physiology and Diversity & Reproduction, Ontogeny and Developmental Biology

  • Label the parts of a flowering plant and describe transport in xylem and phloem

  • Explain alternation of generations in plants

  • Compare major plant groups (mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, angiosperms)

  • Describe plant responses to light and gravity

Your checkpoint

A plant anatomy diagram plus a comparison chart of the four plant groups with life-cycle notes

Week 8

Evolution and Evolutionary Theory & Ecology, Biosphere and Environmental Protection

  • Explain natural selection and the evidence supporting evolution

  • Distinguish homologous, analogous, and vestigial structures

  • Describe energy flow and trophic levels in an ecosystem

  • Explain the carbon and nitrogen cycles and human impacts on the biosphere

  • Outline conservation strategies for biodiversity

Your checkpoint

A full-length practice exam under timed conditions with a scored error log identifying weak domains
