Calculating the birth rate of children with Achondroplastic dwarfism in a population when given the frequency of the recessive genotype.

Review files for review on Wednesday are posted on E-Learning.  We will also go over the Practice Exam.

This is the first extra credit assignment.  There will be at least three during the semester.  You may do any or all of them for a total of 10 points each (30 for all).  That can raise your total score by 5% out of the possible 600 points for the course.  Visit the Florida Museum of Natural History, Powell Hall Exhibit Hall and go to the South Florida People and Environments Exhibit.  Take this worksheet with you and fill it out as you go through the exhibit.

Harvard Cell Animated Video Link - submitted by a classmate.  After the cell lectures, you should recognize many structures/processes going on in this animation of the cell.  Particularly obvious is the Golgi apparatus sending and receiving vesicles.  You will recognize more of the action after we have discussed the cytoskeleton.  Thanks Jordan!
