The Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance — Sex-Linked Traits, Linked Genes, and Genetic Disorders Explained | Chapter 15 of Campbell Biology Welcome to Last Minute Lecture! This post covers the chromosomal basis of inheritance, connecting Mendel’s laws to the behavior of chromosomes as described in Chapter 15 of Campbell Biology . Discover how genes are located on chromosomes, how sex-linked traits and linked genes are inherited, and how chromosomal alterations can result in genetic disorders. Watch the full video summary below and subscribe for clear, chapter-by-chapter genetics insights! Introduction: Chromosomes as the Carriers of Genetic Information The chromosome theory of inheritance links Mendel’s discoveries to chromosome behavior during meiosis, explaining how genes are transmitted from parents to offspring. Chromosomes segregate and assort independently, underlying the patterns of inheritance observed by Mendel. Sex-Linked Inheritance Sex-Linked Genes: Located ...

Infant Growth and Brain Development — Summary of Chapter 5 from The Developing Person Through the Life Span The first two years of life represent one of the most critical periods in human development. Chapter 5 of Kathleen Stassen Berger’s The Developing Person Through the Life Span focuses on biosocial development during infancy, including physical growth, brain development, sensory maturation, motor skills, and essential survival factors. This summary offers a comprehensive overview of how infants grow, adapt, and thrive in their earliest months. Watch the video above for a podcast-style walkthrough of all key concepts covered in this chapter, or continue reading below for a detailed and structured study guide. Body Growth and Physical Changes Rapid Growth in the First Year Infants typically triple their birth weight and grow nearly 12 inches within their first year. Head circumference expands significantly, reflecting intense brain development. Growth charts use perce...
