@GollaGandaLova Well, I am a biologist! And I don't know what you're regarding to. I think he does a great job at teaching and that people like him should start their own schools and teach!

I thought he said the germ cells don't contain chromosomes. Then how can he donate 1 chromosome from either his mom or dad from his germ cells to fertilize the ova?

If evolution actually happened, why is all DNA degenerating today? Evolution is quack science.

At the end of every lecture, only 1 thought comes to mind: Mind Blowing. Just wow.

The theory of evolution has NEVER led to "another species" by this process. See: net4truthusa - dot com and click on the book "Neogenesis" The theory of evolution does NOT pass the empirical test of science - it is a State-sponsored pagan religion.

I have a question sal. Does sexual reproduction created new genes? If not, then mutation is the ultimate source of variation becasue sexual reproduction merely help recombine and spread out the genes within a population. Thanks

Epiphany!
Hey Sal. I think the analogy to a computer program was a little off. From my understanding, if you introduce a random mutation it won't usually break the whole organism, only that protein. This is because of the start and stop codons.

Depends on how drastic the mutation is and how important that gene/protein is to the organism. To your point, however, DNA does have more redundancy and fault tolerance than most computer programs (and is far, far, far more complex)
