This is a review exercise on mitosis and meiosis. Many students struggle with recognizing the similarities and differences between these processes. Therefore, this exercise involves a compare and contrast table. A concept map is used to review the steps of meiosis.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
This resource will allow students to practice matching eukaryotic cell organelles with definitions.
Material Type: Homework/Assignment
This activity contains a concept map on DNA replication and repair. These topics are challenging for most undergraduates; thus, this exercise is designed them to give them practice at distinguishing between the enzymes and processes involved.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
This exercise is designed to help students identify the parts of a gene and an mRNA. The exercise requires a synthesis of their understanding of the various steps of gene expression.

Practice Worksheet: Levels of Organisation of Human Organism and Organ Systems Function review;Introductory Human Biology CourseGuidance on how to use this assignment: This activity provides the opportunity for the students to practice using new terminology that is typically introduced in the first chapter of an undergraduate human biology course. This corresponds with Open Stax- Human Biology OER textbook by Willy Cushwa (Ch 1) https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/human-biology.
Material Type: Homework/Assignment
This exercise is designed to help undergraduates understand cellular macromolecules and the monomer/polymer relationships important for cells. The exercise is designed to be performed in class, and includes a guided note-taking table and some short-answer questions that students complete independently to evaluate the structures of sugars and DNA.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Helpful practice/review sheet for comparing and contrasting biological macromolecules and their monomers.
Material Type: Homework/Assignment
A short in-class exercise to help introductory biology students apply the scientific method
