Genetics 101 Part 1: What are genes?

[TheRockinpeanuts1]

super cute!

[5811396]

I don't get it when they say 20,000 Genes so do they mean it in the whole body or just one cell ?

[uknowispeaksense]

@5811396 Every cell in your body has nucleus with 23 pairs of chromosomes therefore every cell n your body has 20000 genes.

[lovebeingimperfect21]

lol "when they say you have your fathers hair, they actually mean 'you appear to have inherited a gene or genes from your father that instructs your hair follicle cells to produce hair that curls like your father's"

[gradschoolerasmusmc]

Shows how nice video works in explaining complex matter.

[EsoterikSurgery]

haha 4 years in science class of a teacher trying to explain what a gene is and not understanding a word they say, only to give up the subject. but now i understand. man i go to a crappy school.

[Sgagnot]

Awesome vid :)

[IMAONEMANWOLFPACK]

thanks this is good stuff it going to help me on my final it put it in "english" for me

@XOXObebegirl123 watch the second one....

[CissyMoon]

I'm going to make a Biology graduation exam in two weeks, and this video helps me a lot in understanding Genetics, so THANK you very much for posting :)

[BlakeBarbieDoll]

Although the animations would attract little people, this is SO well done (and cute to boot!)

[malirsal]

i think everyone loved the video its just amazing...

[4208260]

This video is great!, entertaining and just saved me tons of time :D!

and by the way, anyone notice the 6th leg on 1:00 was hairy?

[JAMISONS]

I loved this video. Nice anamation. Nice narrating. Makes Biology easy! Takes me hours to just study what this video talked about. This only took 4:25! That simple!

[SaintsRow312]

im subscribing

[wastedom]

wow, parts 1-3 explained in 10 minutes what I had to read for 2 hours in the textbook.

[2480938]

thanx for this vid it helped me on my homework! :)

[HyruleLand]

Wow, this will definitely help me with my Biology class. I thought I hated science...

[v94j]

science is fun, school science is boring...

[rubberduckyily]

Definitely not the funnest or most entertaining, but it was homework and I learned something, so thanks.

[tailessmermaid]

that was entertaining. ;)

[nadiassh]

[xkuchex]

and i tend to daydream in class - cause my teacher has a boring mono tone -that makes me sleepy

so i onlii eva pick up on a few words she says ---------------and i didnt understand anithing

and now im like - i atleast gotta paste -if i know the basics from these video's

ur a legend =D

[priyaramkumar]

nice

[hockeyiscool22]

Now im ready to take my genetics final next month!!!

[ExNihiloJimmy]

im 27 and feel like a little boy watching this X0

[MisanthropistPro]

I want to be a geneticist of some sort. But I find the whole advanced area of DNA quite daunting. Are there any genetics jobs that don't directly and closely deal with such things... like biochemistry?

[repeatoffender420]

you are awesome! thank you!

[Lupiswolf]

Guess what?? Goldfish have like 93 pairs of chromosomes!! NICE VIDeO

[AndrewJohn4A]

There are 22 pairs of chromosomes that normal people have. if you are a female then you have 22 pairs but two "X"'s; making 23 pairs. A male has 22 pairs with one X and one Y chromosome. Making most "normal" peoples total number of chromosomes 46. Also hair "curliness" is controlled by the shape of the hair the straighter it is the more round it is.

[climbyourtree]

Nice 101 level video! A great primer for budding genealogists or just those interested in what makes us - us.

[not9t]

Thanks for the vid series, this helped me with my uni lvl genetics lol, the logical order really helped

[elitehalo2548]

boreing

[Underfaith]

The reason its "boring" is probably similar to the reason you cant spell.

[darkassasin66]

why did u watch it

[hockeyiscool22]

luckily idiots like you don't study genetics

[GutZ105]

You mean boring.

[xearanie]

wow

[Peagl0ssNinja]

2:20 = freaking epic

[christubbs]

Thanks for a great series of videos :) am using this one and part 4 with two of my classes. Extremely clear information in what is a difficult area for most students! 5/5

[MissEmy07]

nice, thanks

[kyokoliciouz]

wow...this video rlly helped me!! thanks! =]

[jayway1954]

grate video

[mikeybrumbrum]

yes, thanks

[rsmaster10000]

it was good information but i sorta fell asleep dood

[lilzeus7]

HAHAHAH when someones says u have ur fathers hair, what they mean is 'you appear to have inherited a gene or genes from your father that makes a protein that instructs your hair follicle cells to produce hair that curls like your father's. I know thats wot i mean when i say that :P. But the video is great keep up the good work

[discorecords]

Thank you for making this animation!!!!

[divwak]

great, thanks!

[allan3141]

Hi great videos thankyou. You say "most genes are recipies for making specific proteins" may I ask what the others do and where can I fine out about them?

Thanks

[avi10miz]

GOOD

[madvasia]

perfect!thanks

[veetube1]

Amazing video..this is informative and the information in the video is more than perfect. Usually people say chimps and human have 99% of similar DNA but that is the old version and your video has the new and updated facts! This is so great I love watching them!

[rabiachan]

I absolutely adore it! Thanks for helping me out for my genetics test on monday..

[AfricanPrince]

This was very interesting, he made it so simple for me to understand *grins sheepishly*

[alzico]

I feel resentful that after years of bland texts books in school I can understand a concept far better via a cartoon. This is a very powerful learning medium, thank you for sharing.

[VegetoStevieD]

Scientists have a nasty habbit of taking things that are easily understood, and making it out to be only for super-geniuses.

[mikkister]

Great little video and also informative :)
