Test on Biostats: Remember to study basic stats principles and theory, binomial theorem, and chi-square. There will also be a di-hybrid cross problem included because the punnett square gives us the basic starting ratios (or probabilities) for working with chi-square.

Also, a note to remember: Drosophila report will be due April 12th.
