Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Salem College/Advanced Genetics (Spring)

We are working with Drosophila melanogaster in the laboratory section of the course. I have seen that the mutations that we are working with are not on the Drosophila melanogaster page. Students will work in pairs to add a description of a common mutation found in classical Drosphila genetics. White eyes exist as a page by itself but that appears to be it, it seems that the Drosophila melanogaster page could incorporate the mutations or the students could add the mutations to new pages.

Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.

Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the &quot;mainspace.&quot;

Resource: Editing Wikipedia, page 13

Exercise
Add links to your article

Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.

Week 9
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!
