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 RNA.  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.
