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

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

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

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"
