The APsolute Recap: Biology Edition - AP Bio & Coronavirus
Episode 27 recaps the connection between the coronavirus and the content on the AP Bio exam. Viruses are nonliving agents (1:05) with a hijacking infection strategy. Coronaviruses are named for their club-like proteins sticking out from the surface (2:45). The viral RNA genome is translated by host cell ribosomes (4:20). Biotechnology, like PCR, is used to test for viral presence in test swabs (5:20). Viral genomes are able to evolve over time, with high mutation rates (5:55).
The Question of the Day asks (7:12) “What do we call the branch of medicine that studies the distribution and control of disease?”
