Genetics Warm Up 2
I would like to welcome you to the electronic classroom for biology and life sciences of the 21st century. Todays, geneticists rely on Gregory Mendel's work to predict the likely outcome of genetic crosses. This instrument will test your knowledge of vocabulary and principles to solve genetic problems. As "fill-in" questions appear in this test, please enter your answers using all lower case letters. Unless, the question has printed a different set of instructions. I wish you good luck and make high marks on the test!
