    18 Things You Should Know About Genetics is an animated film that presents fundamental background information about genetics, as well as offering some quirky but interesting facts about DNA, genes and genetics. It was created to be an upbeat, fun educational short film to initiate and draw interest to this sometimes daunting and seemingly complex subject matter.

    Thanks - very useful.
    1. Genes - set of instructions from mom and dad
    2. Genes/instructions in every cell (almost)
    3. Genes are stored in very long strands of chemicals called DNA
    4. DNA long strands are called chromosomes
    5. Chromosomes are made up of many genes
    6. One gene is a specific sequence of DNA on a chromosome that provides particular cellular instructions
    7. DNA is shaped like a twisted ladder
    8. Ladder - steps are made of 4 chemicals/bases - ATGCs
    9. Order of bases determines … you
    10. Ladder sides - alternating sugar and phosphate molecules
    11. Entire DNA sequence is called a genome - 3.2B base pairs (3.2B bases of your genome)
    12. DNA from one cell - more than 6 feet
    13. All you DNA in all your cells - reach moon 6000 times
    14. 99.9 identical to other people
    15.

    The problem was 1:20 when they showed the bases in the DNA. The "bridge" between one helix to another is showed like there is only one base, but is in fact 2. If one side is a Thymine, the other is a Adenine and vice-versa, and if it's a Cytosine the other is a Guanine and vice-versa.
    The sequence showed should be:

    Yeah, and they also do encode functional RNAs that aren't translated into proteins.
    And there are also telomeres and centromeres, which have other functional roles.
    I'm not sure how much of our genomes can be called "junk", but it's probably not more than about 40%.

    This video is decades out of date concerning what was once called "junk" DNA. True, it does not code for proteins, but it is enormously functional and important. Among other things, it contains switches - the "if-then" statements of biological programming.

    This is so good,thankyou however (sorry to be so pernickety but as it's such a great piece of media it really stood out) I think it's let down by the phrasing of "as it [junk DNA] does not currently appear to code for anything" since this seems to suggest that it also might actually not code for anything and nothing will ever b found,whereas I think it is likely that in the future, more will become apparent and it won't seem to be junk so it would have been better to say 'have not yet worked out

    The differences rely mostly on the differences of gene expressions and how your genes interact with each other and environmental stimulations. Generally our genetic codes are similar in a great way but not exactly the same since our junk DNA sequences may be different because of insertion and deletion and other genetic mutations. Evolution does not reserve junk DNA well enough comparing to coding DNA sequences. There are many things about genetics that still there for us to discover :D

    The model of how the bases are ordered is more misleading than it is correct, the bases are always paired with one another (A-T and C-G). Furthurmore it does not even mention the part of gene activation, which is about as important to what makes you a human, instead of a horse as the order of the bases(since almost every cell in your body has a complete setup of the same DNA, gene activation makes the difference between a eye and an arm in your cody as cells "specialise" themselves)

    Well, I don't think that's what the video meant, but it's a good point. Even if we look at other organs than the brain they are also hugely influenced by the environment, the things we eat etc. Plus there's epigenetics and imprinting.

    The statement about junk DNA that doesn't appear to code for anything is incorrect. Junk DNA is involved in epigenetics. Given certain stimuli, strands of junk DNA will be activated (aka. DNA methylation) and produce its effects.

  • @WorthlessWinner
    @WorthlessWinner 11 лет назад

    A lot of repetitive DNA is transcribed into non-coding RNA. These RNAs only seem to direct the repression of the repetitive DNA, so most of it does seem to be 'junk.' Even if it is transcribed to RNA.

    What is happening with junk DNA is partly known, and this is what I have mentioned with the appropriate terms: DNA methylation & epigenetics. You can look them up. It is not really "new" science, even though there still more to be known about it. It's an important part of neurology and endocrinology.
    If you have the time (~35 hours) I recommend watching the full playlist of Sapolsky's class (from Stanford University) : v=NNnIGh9g6fA Epigenetics is one of the many topics covered.

It is hard to believe that the majority of the sequencing in your DNA is completely redundant. It is much safer to say that it is currently unknown rather than labeling it as "junk" DNA.

    All creatures exhibit some behaviors that are, in some way, influenced by genetics. The important distinction is that a learned behavior does not just become a physical attribute that you pass on to your offspring through mating. There are even more complicated approaches whereby learned behaviors and genetic traits can have combinatorial effects on survival rates and such, but you'll have to look somewhere more appropriate than RUclips comments for better insight on that. ;)

    They are wrong when they say that our genome would come to 3GB. In reality, it is only about 800MB.
    They are apparently calculating it as 1 nucleotide = 1 byte, so 3.2 billion nucleotides = 3.2 billion bytes. But 1 nucleotide != 1 byte, but rather to 2 bits. There are 8 bits in a byte, so there are 4 nucleotides per byte. So we have to divide the 3.2 billion nucleotides by 4 to get bytes, and that gives us 800 MB.

      DNAunion mhm and it that doesn't even account for the degeneracy of the genetic code. Instead of coding for the theoretically possible 64 possibilities each triplet codon codes for only 20 amino acids. Not sure how to apply this to actual numbers, as the vast majority of DNA that is transcribed into RNA doesn't make it into mature mRNA but instead is spliced out, and codons only make sense when talking about mRNA that is translated into protein. But your 800 MB would be the theoretical upper limit. Not accounting for other information that might also be present such as methylation, binding of proteins or RNA, the physical arrangement of the chromosomes, etc.

    • @MrGoatflakes
      @MrGoatflakes 9 лет назад

      DNAunion I think this misconception started because the most naive way of representing a DNA base is with one of the ASCII characters A, G, C or T. I have actually seen people do this calculation and face palmed pretty hard at the time.

    • @ABeardedDad
      @ABeardedDad 9 лет назад +1

      DNAunion You're criticizing a simplistic way of explaining DNA which has almost no purpose except to simply illustrate the point that we have huge amounts of DNA in our cells.
      In reality you can't compare DNA to computers (at least you can't analyze the analogy too deeply) because genomes are massively more complex and dynamic than computers. So it is actually no bytes, because it's DNA, so it's bases... just bases, and there's about 3.2 Billion of them. That's all you really need to know.
