  • Oh please, I'm just watching this because I have to for biology class, but really. Can this be any more boring? They really put an effort in getting the most boring and slow voice actor.

  • BEST video on the subject on here!!! Thank you for making this easy to understand!

  • Cool video! But yes, I have a question: Once the polymerase copies the DNA to make RNA, and it's done, does the DNA make itself a double helix again or does it stay in that odd shape?

  • Q: Are Genes really the smallest building blocks responsible for building me? It is so hard to comprehend a four digit coding system being it, Do Genes them selves have sub atomic genes so they know what genes to become? Oh and how do scientists out of the billions of genes identify which one does what how and why? Tom.

  • Genes code for proteins and which are made up of amino acids which build you. Each amino acid has several three lettered digits that code for them These digits are in an ordered sequence which are copied from generation to generation. These sequences can be altered by radiation, chemicals etc, but are normally repaired and sometimes not. This is called mutation, and by artificially promote a mutation, in a lab for example, one can find what protein that gene code IF the protein is defect.

  • Hi thank you for the reply, I am desperate to find a person who knows their stuff on Genes... One more question on genetic mutation, I and my brother who is 3 years younger then me are from the same parents...

    Why dont I have identical genes like my brother when we are both from the same gened parent? As im aware sex is determined by the sperm, being the chromosne thing but could each sperm genetically differ too?

  • simplified: to make a sperm a cell needs to undergo meiosis. Study meiosis in a textbook. This results in four haploid cells each with different sets of chromosomes. During meiosis, things like mutation, transposons, cross-overs can happen that alter the number of combinations. This number is near infinite. So the bottom line is each sperm cell and egg cell differ from each other. Thats why you and your brother are not genetically identical

  • Yeh, Your savy on these things. I have been wondering how one could correct genetic faults, I know of genetic screening, cloning, etc but how does one do surgery on a gene, do we have the tools to cut and paste genes? or what about an adult who has trillions of cells with defective genes, can that get genetic repaired? Oh by the way, do you know if Dolly the sheep tlemores were re-set ?

  • Hay, your savy ...Ah I know of cloning, screening, but do we actually have the tools to cut and paste genes? do we have the tools, method to correct every cells genes in an adult person, lets say hypothetically could their be a simple way to genetically correct the shape of an adults eyes.

    Oh, I know Im degressing a bit here but do you know if dolly the sheep had her telemores re-set, meaning did they clone a new sheep with a new life span or did they clone dolly with her remaining life span?

  • A: Genes are the smallest units of information responsible for making you, you.. But Genes are made up of atoms, atoms are made of electrons sphering around a nucleus which is made of protons and neutrons; that are made of up quarks and down quarks (in the first gen. standard model); quarks are possibly made up of 10 dimensional calabi-yau manifolds (superstrings) of energy attached to a membrane (universe) in a quantum fluctuative spacetime.. ;)

    I can't wait until I start learning physics! :D

  • excellent explaination.

  • i swear it sounds like Woopie-goldburg (however you spell her name) is narrating this

  • wow this is a realyl good video. the narrator is speaking nice and slow, which is good as it gives time for us to digest the information and allow it to process in our brains =] Yay! Thank you for this video, it is really simple and easy to understand =] Yay!!

  • im sorry for that please forgive me i thought this was a good video my profile is always logged on so one of my brothers or sisters did it once again i give you my sicerest apologies.

  • GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

  • Thanks for posting this very informative video. It helped me pass a test. Very short, sweet and engaging.

  • thank you for this video it has helped my with a research paper
