Late problem sets will not be accepted, no exceptions. In lab we will be exploring genetics hands-on, providing you with the opportunity to increase your understanding of many genetic concepts and processes that may otherwise be difficult to grasp. Laboratory exercises include exploration of mitosis, meiosis, population genetics and evolution, heredity of simple traits, and molecular-genetic techniques commonly used in research laboratories worldwide. You will earn many of your lab points by keeping a notebook, which you must bring with you to every lab. Do not re-write your lab notebook to make it appear neater, the notebook you turn in will be the one you start the semester with.
Lab books are due at the end of the semester.
These will be due at the end of each lab. The remaining 10 points are attendance and participation. Missed labs cannot be made up. Stop by during my office hours, make an appointment, or just drop in. I'll answer questions by e-mail also.
