Bloom's Taxonomy Distribution

  • Chapters 4-13 (intermediate tier): targeted 25% Remember / 30% Understand / 30% Apply / 15% Analyze
  • Chapters 14-20 (advanced tier): targeted 15% Remember / 20% Understand / 25% Apply / 25% Analyze / 10% Evaluate / 5% Create; per-chapter counts came in at approximately 1-2 Remember, 2 Understand, 3 Apply, 2 Analyze, 1 Evaluate, 1 Create, matching the target distribution.
  • Chapter 16 (Hardy-Weinberg) includes a quantitative p² + 2pq + q² = 1 calculation question.
  • Chapter 17 includes a cladogram-construction Create-level question.
  • Chapter 18 includes logistic-growth and mark-recapture quantitative Apply questions.
  • Chapter 20 includes a ten-percent-rule quantitative Apply question.

Format Validation

  • All 17 new quiz.md files use the required format: level-4 question headers, <div class="upper-alpha" markdown> option lists, and ??? question "Show Answer" admonitions with a Concept Tested: line.
  • No "all of the above" / "none of the above" options were used.
  • No broken "See:" links were introduced (links omitted entirely per instruction, since concept-page anchors could not be verified).
  • mkdocs build completed successfully with the updated navigation; the only warnings were pre-existing unrelated TODO.md sim pages not in the nav.

mkdocs.yml updated to add a Quiz: entry under each of chapters 4-20, matching the existing pattern used for chapters 1-3.
