due before exam starts

*********************************************

POSTING ON BLACKBOARD DOES NOT COUNT FOR CREDIT

but will be very useful for studying -- especially if many people do it!

*********************************************

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 (6):
  • introductory material: organisms, aspects of gneetics (transmission, molecular, population)
  • mitosis & meiosis, chromosomes, and related material
  • simple Mendelian genetics
  • probability
  • linkage: dihybrid crosses and dihybrid gene mapping
  • linkage: trihybrid testcross [ three point crosses]
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).


ALL ASSIGNMENTS MUST BE TYPED OR PRINTED
-- or they will be returned unread --
This includes any other work assigned to be written outside class

PROOFREAD AND SPELL CHECK ALL WRITTEN WORK
-- to avoid embarrassment
