DNA Replication: A Summary, Part 2 of 2, from Thinkwell Biology

[imakickurass1000]

SO Confused im only in 8th grade im like WTF.

[zai4booc]

More videos please :)

[nursingclassof2009]

You saved me!!! You should come teach at UTA! Thank so much Professor I could just hug you! XOXO

[Dkc3]

I'm pretty sure Professor Wolfe invented being cool.

[migglep]

i want to commit apoptosis.

[qrais]

remember guys, telomeres are added in replication by telomerases, 5'cap and the 3'polyadenylation is added to the the transcripted mRNA before it is sent out of the nucleus. Basicly to protect it and make it recognizable for the rRNA subunits

[eduardo19922009]

Great video, congratulations. It makes something elaborate look like basic stuff. Again, congratulatios.

[HFN1211]

I can't find a word to describe how amazing he is =D

[XanderBBo]

I'm still confused but it's a lot clearer than it was before.

Thank you!

[deathclaw492]

Fantastic! I was watch loads of videos for simpler way of explaining the DNA Replication and they made it difficult to understand. This has to be the most simple and best video I've watched so far. Awesome!!!

[mustanghmt]

why is he bold???



[ThinkwellVids]

@mustanghmt Not sure what you are asking here...

[Luke2kz71]

@ThinkwellVids I think he misspelled "bald" (his bad attempt at humor.)

[ThinkwellVids]

@Luke2kz71 ah.. gotcha. Most likely Prof. Wolfe was being silly as he loves to inject humor into his lectures. :)

Stem cells, germ line cells, and cancer cells all have active telomerase allowing them to replicate infinitely, this is why we age, because our somatic cells do not have this RNA dependent DNA polymerase (telomerase) activated. Since we cannot extend our telomeres in somatic cells some of the telomere is lost upon each replication in that cell line to the point where our telomeres are so short that DNA errors begin to occur. Shorter telomeres = more DNA errors + harder to correct those errors

[happyrhodesful]

I have to think of complex things like DNA or even World War 1 as having seperate components that are people (like the nucleotides are people and the hydrogen bonds are different people) and my teachers don't understand that but this really helped me get this down! Thanks so much!

[Kaytykat123]

You are the best teacher ever!!! That helped so much thanks!!

[missallieweasley]

Thank you so so so much! I have a big ap bio test tomorrow and I feel so prepared after watching this! Thanks again!

[RiCETOOB]

OMGOMGOMGOMG i love you.. i understand !!!!!!!

[flippergibbit]

This is Bio AP? I am a 9th grader in California and this pretty much summarizes DNA replication in my biology honors class. Thanks for making it look simpler and easier to understand because my teacher gave us quick notes on this without explaining thoroughly! It wasn't even in my textbook!

[ThinkwellVids]

@flippergibbit So glad we could help! That's why we create our curriculum, because it's easier for many students to watch videos and learn. We get these great professors to teach so that it's more fun and engaging!

[MsGrammarnazi]

Enthusiasm is your gift! "Put those babies on there..."

I am into it!

Thanks!

[SharoonKhalid]

SIr ur an awesome professor.......i really wish, u could be my teacher....thank u very much for helping students like us..........................

[Angelwings121]

this contains all the contents of AP BIO??? I´m making fan of this videos!!

This teacher is AWESOME !! really THANK YOUU

[imnotELLIINyou]

the dr phil of biology

[RiCETOOB]

@imnotELLIINyou AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! omg

[ibsy01]

missed out uracil

[jkimt08]

@ibsy01 uracil is for RNA, not DNA...

[ibsy01]

@jkimt08 thanks still learning so kinda getting confused :L

[fbt2007]

Oh, that's why the telomeres get shorter as we age. So when the telomeres are exhausted we pretty much reach the end of our rope and expire or at least start to:-) ??? Great video series.

[ThinkwellVids]

@fbt2007 Glad our video helped explain this to you!!

[kissntellen]

@ThinkwellVids great video

[ThinkwellVids]

@kissntellen Cool! Glad you enjoyed it!

[rightbydawn]

@fbt2007

no not really, some cells have telomerases, enzymes that catalyzes the formation of additional telomere sequences

[hotboysyeyo]

dam your the Man why can my instructor make it this fun

[ThinkwellVids]

@hotboysyeyo Take our courses and he can be your instructor! :)

[bmxpunker2005]

this guy is really phenomenal, Thinkwell is lucky to have him

[ThinkwellVids]

@bmxpunker2005 Yes we are! And he's only one of the many awesome instructors we have!

[Rockoutloud1994]

Thank you for helping me cram for my Bio test tomorrow!

[Bameecutie]

thanks thankssssss !! <3

[Sameer3292]

that wasn't a nutshell, that was a turtle shell.

[kaykromah]

Man i learn so much from your videos, u made me understand better than my teacher. please make more videos.

[endorphun]

True dat Caliabra, he made me understand better than all the 3D-animations!

[Caliabra]

Ok seriously, thank you, I was looking for a good animation on leading and lagging strand, and he explained it better w/ a freakin' picture!

[peteryun1]

im pretty sure the polymerase 3 goes from 5 prime to 3 prime

[somethingcl3v3r]

LOL its true!

DNA polymerase PROOFREADS from 3 prime to 5 prime..and reads from 5 prime to 3 prime..why do I think he said it backwards

[TsurugiLover]

Thank you.  You just summed up an entire section of my bio book in less than 3 days. Please make mote videos. :)

[superior23]

You are the MAN. You literally summarized 10 pages of my textbook and 6 pages of powerpoint outlines in a few minutes. Why don't you teach Intro Bio at Fordham University?

[TheTeinegirl]

WOW!! Awesome video! I wish you were my teacher!!  ;o)

[clovepeach]

you are awesome! the video is awesome!

make MORE!!!!!

we need it. haha.

:D

[arbyt3r]

:)

In a nutshell. Big nutshell.
