Instructions for Registering for Virtual Flylab
« Back to Genetics Lab Syllabus
Read the instructions
The site is not the most user-friendly and requires reading the instructions, so if it rejects your entries, be sure and read the pop-up instructions.
Only one team member needs to register
Teams will be working together on the web site. Registration costs ~$8.00, so the lab partner who doesn’t register can split the cost, or buy his/her partner a sandwich, etc. Two can’t log in at the same time with same password, so if you want to practice at any overlapping time, register separately.
Don’t pay for the more expensive versions ($40, $20.00, etc.).
These are online labs that we will not be using.
