Hello!
Starting with Unit 2.
Here are the pretest questions based on first 8 pages of Chapter 5. In my book (i.e. 2019-20 publication available online) the page numbers are 67-75. In terms of Topic; End of 5.2 (Inheritance of One Gene)
Read the pages carefully; and try to answer the questions. see how many you can answer.
The key points of this portion are already on blog, but I would request you not to refer them, and focus solely on book reading.
