2023 AP Biology FRQ Exam - Full Explanations by AP Teacher

Hey All, here are explanations to the 6 FRQs on the 2023 AP Biology Exam released by college board that took place on May 10th, 2023. I truly hope this is helpful to whoever is watching! Remember, these are “proposed answers” as of now as the scoring guidelines have not been released yet (will be released usually in July when scores come out). If your answers do not match, it doesn't mean they are wrong, many times on AP scoring guidelines, they can accept multiple answers. If I am wrong on an answer (which I may be - sorry), please comment below to help us all out! Thanks for watching and I hope this video is helpful to you.
Here is a link to the 6 FRQ questions released by College board I will be covering in this video:

24:00 would it be right if I say
The natural environment can affect the phenotype and genotype of a environment, once co2 increases the mitrochondria surface area increase resulting as cellular respiration. Genetic variation
