I can't put it any better than FlaSoxxJim: "You would give the biologist a rundown of the chromosomal characteristics of the rat's diploid (2N) cells – not just the chromosome number, but a physical depiction of their relative sizes and possibly an indication of which pair reprtesents the sex chromasomes – often it's a mount of the actual chromosomes themselves or some other physical depiction of the chromosome set."

DO NOT POST Question 10 Category: Half and Half Point Value: 55 This is the first of 10 true/false questions. Answer correctly and get the points... try as few or as many as you want. Each question is worth 4 points, and you get 15 bonus points for getting them all. Good luck. About one-sixth of the earth's surface is permanently covered with ice.
