Biotech Eugenics Knowledge Test
How well do you know the science behind embryo selection and gene editing? 56 multiple-choice questions on the structure of DNA, the kinds of genetic variation, meiosis and gametes, how genetic prediction works (GWAS, heritability, polygenic scores), genotyping and sequencing, the statistics of selection, CRISPR-type editing, and the results of animal and plant breeding.
The test is meant for people who follow these topics: most questions go beyond textbook definitions, and some are hard for working geneticists. Some need a calculation: a calculator is allowed (a phone's will do), and where an item needs values from the normal distribution, they are given in it. Untimed, about 20 minutes. Afterwards you can see which ones you missed.
Almost done!
Two optional questions, asked once: your age and sex let the results be broken down by who took the test.
Sex as at birth; gender as you identify. Languages you grew up speaking; several are fine, separated by commas. Leave blank anything you would rather not say.
