This study guide covers heredity, focusing on meiosis, Mendelian genetics, and non-Mendelian genetics. It explains how meiosis contributes to genetic diversity through crossing over, independent assortment, and random fertilization. It also reviews Mendel's laws, different inheritance patterns, and the influence of environmental factors on phenotype. Finally, it provides practice with Punnett squares and problem-solving related to genetic crosses.
