Study Guide: Genetic Systems
We will review in class on Monday. As you review, please add questions to the
Genetic Systems Unit Exam Review Questions in your class shared folder.
BRING A CACLULATOR TO THE EXAM
In each section, relevant hw assignments and class notes are identified. If you
need further instruction on the material some sections have tutorials linked.
