Welcome to BIO-12, Introduction to Genetics!

Here is the syllabus for the class.

Homework, review questions, interesting Web sites, and other helpful materials will be posted to this site. Be sure to check it often.

Feb. 2: A student oinformed me that the hyperlink to the mitosis quiz does not work. I can't seem to make the hyperlink work so please copy and paste this into your browser:

www.hartnell.edu/tutorials/biology/mitosis.html

Sorry for the inconvenience.

March 17, 11:00 AM: I corrected a typo in the homework ( I listed duplication as a choice twice- I guess it is appropriate to duplicate duplication) If you download the homework now, it is correct.

Here is an interesting website that gives tutorial informaiton about epigenetics.
