When you click Submit (at the bottom of this web page) it will save your work on the server for me.
You might want to actually write your answers in Word (so you can spell check them) and then cut-and-paste into the boxes. That way, if the computer misplaces your work you can just re-paste the answers.
TAB OR USE THE MOUSE Between the fields....
Answer the questions as best you can. The boxes will expand as you type if you need more space. (Don't worry if it is a one word answer. The box size is standard.)
The "form handler" software doesn't like "blanks."
So, if you don't have an answer, leave the "-" or "NA" or -required- in the box.

Your answers will have to be perfect for a group size of 3 not to cost you in the grading.
3-Last Name: First Name:
No groups larger than 3 will be accepted.

Remember, the boxes will expand as you type if you need more space.
Using your data determine the distance between the gene for spore color and the centromere. Calculate the percent of crossovers by dividing the number of crossover asci (2:2:2:2) or (2:4:2) by the total number of asci x 100. To calculate the map distance, divide the percentage of crossover asci by 2. The percentage of crossover asci is divided by 2 because only half of the spores in each ascus are the result of a corssover event. Record the results in the table. You should combine the data from the NEO simulation and the photographs.
