ANAT2341 Lab 1

Gametogenesis and Sex Determination

Introduction

Historic drawing of oocyte and spermatozoa relative sizes

This first lab class will have 2 main parts.

1. An introduction to the basics of gametogenesis and sex determination.
2. An opportunity to set up your own student page and begin learning some basic editing for your individual assessment page. I will demonstrate by making a Test Student page.

Objectives

1. Work through exercises associated with gametogenesis and sex determination.
2. Introduce the online support materials.
3. Introduce the individual assessments (including your first in this Lab class).
4. Introduce the group assessment project.
