AP Biology Lab 6: Molecular Biology

Paul Andersen explains the two major portions of the molecular biology lab in AP Biology. He starts by discussing the process of transformation. He explains how you can use the pGLO plasmid to produce glowing E. coli bacteria. He then describes how you can use restriction enzymes and the process of gel electrophoresis to cut and separate DNA.

THESE VIDEOS LITERALLY SAVE MY BIO GRADE LIKE I DONT UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE WEEK IN MY CLASS BUT BAM 8 MINUTES VIDEO AND I KNOW AND UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THANK YOU

I didn't have an interpreter on the day I did this lab in my class, and I was so lost! I was nervous to find out that this process was going to be on exam! Yikes! However, I finally understand thank you! The closed caption helped me significantly, again thank you SO MUCH! :)

[kelseyshea]

You seriously cover all of the material that I have googled for my nursing prerequisite classes. Thanks! These are such a big help.

If i ever win a nobel prize i'm gonna give you a shout out, like before my mum even

[Stinakat]

I'm really grateful to have found this...It's going to be my first year teaching AP bio, so your videos are very helpful, and answer many of my questions that I have from reading the manuals...

[tasiakwaa]

Thank I wish you were my micro professor. You made my night learning pglo a lot easier

[brittneysellers]

Greetings! Your videos are awesome even after so many years. It would be amazing if you did an updated series!!

[MaggieRyan]

This video was awesome. I spent a week on this with my IB Bio 2 class and the easy diagrams really helped explain what I was doing in the labs. Thanks, I wish you were my professor!

[hunterhunter]

You are amazing. One of the worst things about online school is labs, and you got the best solution for it. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

[kbtgu]

I have these two lab reports due tomorrow and this video just saved my life THANK YOU

[MultiNerve]

Hope you guys pursue biology as a major/minor in college, because, in high school, you study the experiments and what happens, as well as what we now understand. But in college, you get to actually perform these experiments and reinforce what you studied in high school and relearned in college!

[missJessica]

Thank you so much you seem to make everything simple to me! I always check your page to see if you have a video on all my science problems!

[xosabrina]

I love this guy! I have a Lab test today on 6 labs and we didn't have to hand in this lab so I have no idea what it was about :) Now I do :D

I swear my teacher comes to class half stoned every day, he has no clue how to teach.

[alipinhasi]

I'm taking college genetics. We were focusing on this topic. This has a very good explanation for what is going on. Thank you!

this man has saved my life countless times

Mr. Paul Anderson I am proud of my classes as 8, yes 8, of 14 groups got their bacteria to glow!!

[giggy]

I take an online AP bio class and I have hardly learned anything this year cuz we don’t have a teacher, just a procter, so this was very very helpful

[phoenixwings]

thank you for posting this. I get nervous about labs so I always try to find videos that show me how to do stuff because i get scared of all the stuff i have to do !!
