Exam Preparation

This dictionary covers classical disciplines (botany, zoology, bacteriology, mineralogy, paleontology, etc.), while focusing particularly on concepts, strategies, and methodologies.

This article discusses genetic information that had seemed lost forever, but which turned out to linger in the remains of long-dead plants and animals. Evolutionary change can at last be observed directly.

Accessible via the Internet, the American Board’s Biology Refresher Course contains more than 300 pages of material and was designed to help you review your knowledge for the biology exam. The course is self-paced, allowing you to dedicate more time to material that needs intense review and skip over material you already know. The course incorporates animated tutorials and activities, chapter quizzes, detailed lessons and illustrations, and a video demonstration component.

Enrolled candidates can access the course through http://www.abcte.org/courses/biology/index.html using their ABCTE username and password.

Describes the nature and implications of Darwinian evolution.

This website discusses the discoveries from the 1600s to the 1800s that led to the acceptance of biological evolution.

Based largely on Darwin's experience as a naturalist while on a five-year voyage aboard H.M.S. Beagle, The Origin of Species set forth a theory of evolution and natural selection that challenged contemporary beliefs about divine providence and the immutability of species.

The Ancestor's Tale takes us from our immediate human ancestors back through what Dawkins calls ‘concestors,’ (those shared with the apes, monkeys, other mammals, and other vertebrates) and beyond to the microbial beginnings of life some 4 billion years ago.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Biology follows a standard biology course curriculum that begins with life, cells, and molecular structure and ends with evolution, ecosystems, and ecology.
