This entire chapter is introductory, and we will revisit many of these topics during the course. However, refreshing your memory of them as we begin will be to your advantage. Sections 1.2 and 1.3 are the most likely to require careful reading. Section 1.4, Genetic Foundations, reviews the role of DNA in encoding proteins. Section 1.5, Evolutionary Foundations, is important background, but will not be a central topic in this course.

Box 1-3
In this and all reading assignments, "A" indicates a section you will need to read slowly and with great care. "B" indicates a required section that you can probably read more easily (like a Scientific American article). Read B, study A. Note that the "A" sections are not more important than B, they just require more focused attention. "R" indicates a section that is recommended reading, but it not required.

'A' and' B' sections are required reading. If you are extremely short of time and can't read the entire assignment thoroughly, put most of your effort into the 'A' sections, and the 'B' sections more lightly. Reading breaks at the obvious point on the page unless otherwise noted, or in some cases, at the end of a page. 'R' means recommended.
