Chapter 1, Quiz

If you don't want to do the quiz, you can advance.

Here's a short quiz, or "learning device", as my old high school biology teacher used to call it (may she rest in peace). I prefer to think of it as a "confidence builder". Aw, heck, we all know its a quiz... News Flash! Grades are not re corded, not even pass or fail! Note also, questions are presented in roughly the same order as the material in this chapter was presented, so you can quickly re-read part of the material, if you need to.
