Inheritance
* Explains what inheritance is.
* Some inheritances cause death.
* also plays a key role in organizing software and factoring out commonalities.
* are acquisitions
  - attributes
  - books
  - heredity
* contributes to the idea of software as reusable components.
* convenient way of producing polymorphic functions.
* defines relationships among classes in an object-oriented language
  - what one object can inherit from another
* describes how one object can have many instances of itself
  - the ability to create new classes based on an existing class
* fundamental behavior that differentiates classes from other types in Swift
  - concept in everyday life as well as in sciences and engineering
* generally passes bilaterally from parents to children and grandchildren.
* happens whenever the dominant individual dies or leaves the group.
* involves genes and environment working together.
* is about expressing two things about a relationship between two classes.
* is an acquisition
  - important object-oriented technique
  - another important aspect of object-oriented programming
  - autosomal recessive and is common among some ethnic groups due to consanguinity
  - by maternal transmission
  - central in the granting of ceremonial and territorial rights and responsibilities
  - characterized by genetic stability and flexibility
  - governed by the dayabhaga system of customary law
  - many times today passed down to children of a family of both genders
  - one legitimate way of ownership
* is one of the key concepts in object-oriented programming
  - most important concepts in object-oriented programming languages
  - primary concepts of object-oriented programming
  - relatively unimportant, since there are few forms of inheritable wealth
  - represented by a line ending on a triangle on the parent class
  - the ability of an object or new class to inherit the attributes of a defined class
* is the ability to create a class using, or based on, another
  - derive an object from an existing object
  - capability of one class to take on properties of another
  - glue that binds the generations
  - major cause of cataracts in dogs and cats
  - passing of hereditary traits from one generation to the next - genetics
  - process by which genetic information is passed on from parent to child
* is used in specifying object classes
  - to establish a relationship between two different classes
  - when an object receives some or all of the attributes of another object
* key concept in facilitating code reuse.
* means of wealth acquisition and the basis of generating further wealth
  - to extend a class or reuse the functionality of a class
* mechanism for reusing existing object interfaces and perhaps implementations too
  - that allows a class to be a specialization of another class
* occurs when one class is derived from another.
* patterns The mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive.
* permits a class to be defined in terms of other classes.
* plays an important role in the ways animals behave.
* refers to the idea that one class can inherit attributes from some other class
  - what parents leave their children
* relationship between classes where one class is the parent class of another.
* represents relationships between objects.
* stresses family connection and gift.
* theologically rich concept that guided Israel's relationship to the land.
* way to specialize a class.

### inheritance:

Class inheritance
* foundation and a corner stone of object oriented design programming.
* is essentially a static form of inheritance.

Epigenetic inheritance
* adds another dimension to the modern picture of evolution.
* can temporarily affect an individual.

Genetic inheritance
* does play a role
  - significant role
* replication process and as such it involves coding mechanisms.

Mendelian inheritance
* causes no change in allele frequencies.
* refers to the inheritance of traits controlled by a single with two.
