50<p>Wondering where to begin? The Avida-ED lab book includes a sequence of model
51exercises used together in multiple courses. They introduce students to the
52mechanics of the software while also teaching core evolutionary concepts. The
53lab book also includes a background article about digital evolution, the
54Avida-ED quick-start user manual, and additional model exercises.</p>

84<p>This lesson focuses on mutations as a source of genetic variability and what it
85means to say that mutations occur randomly at some rate. Students make
86predictions about and observe the effects of random mutations on Avidian
87genomes.</p>
