DNA part 6 - An introductory lesson to DNA Replication

[@jfzski15]

In 2 minutes you explained something that professors in an entire semester couldn’t simplify. Thank you

[@metiburussie8973]

Literally thank God for our educators on RUclips. I can't imagine even passing class if it wasn't for them.

[@Javabox04]

really bro lol

[@rachels9838]

This clarified so much! The ends were always mentioned almost haphazardly in my classes, and I couldn’t piece it together until now. Thank you, from a desperate AP bio student

[@kadenvenugopal5892]

Best DNA replication explanation I’ve ever seen. Thank you😌

[@dlr9031]

Good information, however, the S phase is not part of mitosis. Instead it is part of interphase where the cell spends most of its time.

[@joystrong2296]

That’s easier to remember:”the enzyme reads up (3 to 5 is ascending) but writes down (5 to 3 is descending). Thank you for making it clear ✔️;)

[@agonyguy96]

Thank you! the reading and writing explanation really helped me!

[@agonyguy96]

For everyone who is not sure what the two people above me are talking about, they are probably scammers. Be careful or you will prob get hacked.

[@Thegoodchanelsonly]

Woooow , I have been trying to memorize this for every exam , and consistently forgetting it , that’s a very good idea

[@kiancanale3449]

Thank you, sir! Please keep posting informative for your students!

[@darcy4522]

Thank you so much. You explained it so much better than the books.

[@Moonlight-pg9oo]

Read up write down ...thank you sir!

[@fahadbinazadasif318]

I just love this channel

[@sangeethsamuel9277]

me too

[@ruedigersens9888]

Perfect! Just a small tip; you'd better colour the read up process above in blue, right? So you read up in blue and only write down in red.

[@ienashamd2124]

WOW!!
Thank you so much !! I was so confused

[@user-ow7nc6fr1x]

Doctorrr where areee youuu weee neeed youuuu

[@sanjaisrao484]

wow, very nice explaination

[@kahkashanazam6414]

Can you please make a video on DNA Fingerprinting

[@Cassyella]

THANK YOU. IT REALLY HELPS.

[@brianma3152]

Have my kids, thank you

[@IliaTaghianjouybari-yt8fr]

thanks❤

[@raniaabdelrahim6563]

This is really helpful thank you❤

[@vickkuo]

Good information. Thank you.

[@kingaugstar3796]

So which is the forward primer and the reverse

[@marcitoth3029]

I totally understand why the new strand is being made in 5' to 3' direction. I only have one question: why do 5 and 3 (or 3 and 5 in case of DNA) primes determine this direction? And why not e.g. 1' to 5'?

[@acronema]

because the OH group is located at the 3' end and DNA polymerase catalyses phosphodiester bond formation between the OH and the phosphate group

[@lt.ifeplumz1315]

Thanks so much.

[@ynl_rm3411]

Thank You

[@jamesedwardtagalan2147]

thank you sir!!!

[@irened.9005]

Helpful😊

[@aminahsyeda1751]

thank u really hate a levels god bless

[@syedzulfiqaralishah6047]

Thanks 😊

[@Ahtohallan.]

Habibi thank you very much

[@noorhira1381]

Can we read the RNA in the same 3 to 5 direction as in DNA?

[@alimahmoud6966]

ya boi just saved my grades

[@samanthawilson6325]

perfect

[@ramsher8228]

Tq

[@ishikagupta9322]

Can you convert a 5' to 3' DNA strand into 3' to 5' DNA strand with nitrogenous bases? Please answer

[@datrebilmodeerf8146]

I want to help you, but I don´t understand your question.

[@random.med.student]

Of course, you flip it around

[@Masisohanify]

At 0:35, shouldn't it be "S-phase in interphase"

[@emmarohr3006]

Masisohanify its good either way

[@williamho6362]

You are correct

[@soamazing7027]

Great Video! (Jesimiel Millar Fernåndez) 1M1K3

[@TheLazyPirateGuy]

Can anyone tell me what this means 3 GGC CTA CGT GCA AGG GGG TTG TAC TCT? Not a med student just found it randomly.

[@dsaguilardenis]

This specific sequence could represent a small part of a gene or regulatory region, and without additional information, it is impossible to determine its exact function or location in an organism's genome. DNA sequences like this are often analyzed using DNA sequencing technology to identify genetic variants, mutations, or other important features that may be relevant to a specific research question or clinical application.

[@TheLazyPirateGuy]

@@dsaguilardenis Thank you for your response! I found it in a rabbit hole so not pursuing it further but have a great day and coming week!
