AP Biology

Unit 4 (part I) We will cover sections 4.1 to 4.4. We will discuss short-distance and long-distance cell communication, what a signal transduction pathway is, its parts, important types and examples, and the effects of changes and disruptions to signalling pathways. As usual, students will be given the chance to attempt some practice questions related to these topics. We will then discuss the answers together.

During this session, we will cover the second part of Unit 4 Cell Communication and Cell Cycle, which will include the following topics: 4.6 Cell Cycle and 4.7 Regulation of Cell Cycle. The session will include both an explanation/review of the aforementioned topics and practice questions on them.

Unit 4 (part II) We will cover sections 4.5 to 4.7. After a quick revision of the ideas in the first four sections of unit 4, we will start discussing positive and negative feedback mechanisms and some of their important examples. We will also review the stages of the cell cycle, focusing on mitosis. Finally, we will also how the cell cycle is regulated and the effects of disruptions to the cell cycle.

During this session, we will cover the first part of Unit 5 Heredity, which will include the following topics: 5.1 Meiosis, 5.2 Meiosis and Genetic Diversity, and 5.3 Mendelian Genetics. The session will include both an explanation/review of the aforementioned topics and practice questions on them.

During this session, we will cover the second part of Unit 5 Heredity, which will include the following topics: 5.4 Non-Mendelian Genetics, 5.5 Environmental Effects on Phenotype, and 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance. The session will include both an explanation/review of the aforementioned topics and practice questions on them.

Unit 5 (part I) We will cover sections 5.1 to 5.3. The topics we will discuss include meiosis and how meiosis and sexual reproduction result in genetic diversity. We will learn some important terms and foundational concepts related to heredity. This will include a discussion of Mendel's laws. We will focus in this session on Mendelian genetics, which describes the simplest pattern of inheritance: complete dominance. Students will have the chance to ask questions and solve practice problems.

Continue Unit 4 (Cell Communication and Cell Cycle) Unit 4 topics: - 4.1 Cell Communication - 4.2 Introduction to Signal Transduction - 4.3 Signal Transduction - 4.4 Changes in Signal Transduction Pathways - 4.5 Feedback - 4.6 Cell Cycle - 4.7 Regulation of Cell Cycle
