For Bio 1a, IF you are a bio major and you are taking more upper div bio, you should be able to opt out of the bio 1A course and take more interesting upper div courses instead

If you are not a bio major and have no plans to take upper div bio, then you probably want that 1A series.

My D got AP units for calc, but could not get into the next calc class fall term, with the gap in time she decided it would be smart to start at the beginning of the series, she took math 1A then 1B, then the multi variable calc, she was happy she did not skip the 1A as it covered things she had not previously learned and allowed her to have a strong foundation. She did not have to take the extra math, but wanted to see how far she could go comfortably
