Document Summary
Chapter 2 covers the basic principles of inheritance, first described by mendel, that form the foundation of the laws of segregation and independent assortment. You will see in chapter 4 how these laws relate to chromosome segregation during meiosis. Chapter 2 contains most of the essential terminology used to describe inheritance. You should become very familiar with and fluent in the use of these terms because they will be used in increasingly sophisticated ways in subsequent chapters. A good way to assure that you have a solid grasp of the meanings of the new terms is to pretend you are describing each word or phenomenon to a friend or relative who is not a science major. Often giving an example of each term is useful. The first problem at the end of the chapter is also a useful gauge of how well you know these terms.
