Your younger sister comes barging into your room crying something about, “meiosis? mitosis? chromosomes? chromatids? genes? alleles? What does it all mean?” Being the great older sibling that you are, you agree to make a study guide for her that explains all the terms, how they are related, and why they are important. Your study guide includes a written summary and your hand drawn diagrams to help put all the terms into context.

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
