These notes are for chapter 6, module 34 of the “Biology for the AP Course” 1st edition textbook by James Morris, Domenic Castignetti, John Lepri and Rick Relyea. These are aimed at first- or second-year bio students in high school and Intro to Bio college courses. They are pretty surface-level but does go into more detail for the important foundations to biology. Hope they help :)

Translation -
process by which a molecule of mRNA is used to guide the synthesis of protein

Hi there! You will mostly find AP Biology notes here, which go into all the fundamental principles of biology but are specifically aimed at the AP exam. These notes aren’t meant to go super in-depth, and instead just give you the general overview of biology.
