3 multiple choice questions drawn from the material covered by the exam. In the case of exam 1, topics correspond to lecture material (but not really to chapters in the text) are listed below. Each question must have 5 possible answers. The correct answer must be indicated (the easiest way is to put a symbol such as * next to the letter, or to circle the letter by hand if you prefer.) Please do NOT put an answer key list at the end.

1 point for each group of 3 multiple choice questions

Topics (5):

• exceptions to Mendel's "laws", e.g. multiple alleles, multiple genes, incomplete dominance, co-dominance, incomplete penetrance, incomplete expressivity, lethality, etc.
• "     "        epistasis
  
• "      "       linkage & recombination
• gene mapping by recombination:    1cM (centiMorgan) = 1 mU (= map unit) = 1% recombinant offspring form a dihybrid testcross
  
• DNA strucure, replication, base pairs, etc.
  
• "central dogma" of biology overview
  

You may work on these assignments in your study groups, but each student is responsible, individually, for completing each assignment. If they are handed in jointly, all names MUST appear on the assignment, and there MUST be a commensurate multiple of the assigned questions ( e.g. if two people work together => 6 multiple choice questions per chapter/topic).
