Unit 5 Review - Genetics

Paul Andersen reviews the major concepts within the fifth unit of the new AP Biology framework. He starts with a description of both DNA and DNA. He explains how DNA is copied during the S phase of mitosis. He explains how transcription produces a strand of mRNA that is translated at the ribosome into a polypeptide. He compares and contrasts mitosis and meiosis and differentiates between haploid and diploid cells. He finally discusses Mendelian and chromosomal genetics. He finishes the podcast with a discussing of operons and transcription factors.

Isn't the 3rd one 1/18? My gametes were: PYS, PYs, Pys, pYS, pyS, pys. Did I miss 2? I had a 6x6 punnett square and not 8x8.

Is the right order (Biggest to Smallest): Genome, Chromosome, Gene, Codon Nucleotide?

THANKS NEO!!

Great TED video (if you haven't seen it) that helps to visualize the whole Genome. Can't seem to post link here, so search TED.com for "Drew Berry Animations"

Thanks! I have an exam on Thursday for chapters 13-17 from the Campbell book (I think that's the one you use.) I also have 5 steps to a 5 AP Bio study book as well as Sylvia Mader's Biology book. I'm aiming for a 4 on the AP test so I don't have to take it in college!
