What is your score?

100% or 90% - Excellent work! You know the fundamentals of genetics well and should have no problem in understanding gene therapy.

 80% or 70% - Great work! You know the fundamentals of genetics. You'll have little, if any, trouble understanding gene therapy.

 50% or 60% - Good work! You somewhat know the fundamentals of genetics. I would recommend reviewing the basics once or twice more before moving on to gene therapy.

 40% or below - Good try! Don't give up easily; Genetics is not exactly 1 + 1, but it is still very easy to master. I would recommend reviewing the basics and taking the quiz again before moving on to gene therapy. Keep trying!
