This course covers essential knowledge for the AP Biology Exam, including topics such as natural selection, genetic drift, evolution, abiogenesis, cell biology, genetics, gene regulation, and ecosystems. The course aims to teach students about biological concepts and processes, including DNA and RNA, cell cycle, mitosis, meiosis, and ecological interactions. The teaching method involves video lectures, and the course is intended for students preparing for the AP Biology Exam or anyone interested in deepening their understanding of biology.
