Genetics Unit Review

• ***Required--Complete the Genetics Review Assignment (#1). 
• Reviews 1.1 - 1.4 are additional practice if you would like to use them. Because of the amount of paper required for Reviews 1.1-1.4, I am only giving out hard copies of these upon request. Anyone may request a hard copy--my intention is simply to reduce printing/paper waste, as not all students will choose to do extra review.
