Review heredity patterns, genetics, and body systems for AP Biology Units 5 and 6. This video walks you through Mendelian genetics, DNA replication, gene expression, immune responses, and homeostasis to help you prepare for your AP Bio exam. You'll ...more

curriculum note

This video is titled 'Units 5 & 6 Review' but also substantially covers Unit 4 content (mitosis, cell cycle regulation, and immune system). In the current AP Biology curriculum, body systems (immune, nervous, endocrine) and the cell cycle are covered in Unit 4, not Units 5 or 6.
