AP Biology UNIT 6: Gene Expression and Regulation

About this course

In this course, you'll explore the intricate details of how DNA directs the formation of proteins, including the essential processes of transcription and translation. You'll learn not only about the mechanics of gene expression but also about the regulatory systems that control when and how much protein is produced, using examples from both bacteria and complex eukaryotic cells. Additionally, the course connects these biological principles to cutting-edge applications in biotechnology and medicine, giving you insight into topics like CRISPR and cancer research.
