Can you please link some of those Youtube channels you mentioned in the comment? I’d like to learn more about the topic—ideally, grasp the big ideas & what-I-don’t-know (coming from the pure math angle, so not much grounding in the natural sciences).
For reference, I found Introduction to Biology—The Secret of Life (an MIT course at edX) to be very helpful in this kind of exploration.
To tell you the truth, I can’t think of any right now. The reason is that the things I know about Biology I learnt them mostly using books, interacting with people in my environment, teachers, reading in the internet etc. I just assumed that there must be excellent YouTube channels out there because it is the case for other areas that I actively follow (History, Language learning, etc). I have used YouTube (when YouTube was a baby) to understand things as basic as transcription, which is WAY easier to understand once you see the different parts of the cell interacting. The MIT course you mention, I don’t know it, but it is certainly very useful.
