This document outlines the key drawing, labeling, constructing, identifying, annotating, and calculating tasks that may be required for the IB Biology HL exam in May 2016. It separates the tasks into different categories such as drawing and labeling cell structures and organelles, constructing DNA sequences and genetic crosses, identifying phases of mitosis and tissue layers, annotating diagrams of body systems and gamete formation, and calculating rates of reactions and chi-squared tests. The majority of the tasks involve microscopic images, molecular diagrams, physiological processes, and genetic concepts that are evaluated throughout the two-year IB Biology higher level course.
