This is the list of the Practical Exam Questions from Spring, 2000.
  • A photo of each question can be found by clicking on each question.
  • The answer to each question pops up when you leave the mouse on the photo.
  • Only one answer is given for each photo, but usually synonyms, etc. are accepted for full credit.
  • Note that some photos are not of "professional quality" and do not capture the 3-dimensional properties of the specimens used.
  • If the photos are not clear, please check your Atlas and the specimens in the lab.
