perhaps you didn't listen in those 50 minutes. I use these videos in class often. But there is no denying that students don't always pay attention in class. Many of my students love these videos, and many have asked me not to show them as they understand my way of explaining better - I now use both formats to hopefully reach more students.
@@badenclosson8195 so you would need a karyotype - for example - to confirm that you had a trisomy, or maybe a monosomy or things like that, also to check for other types of mutations
I've got to say...I began biology at the start of this year and absolutely dreaded it! Just recently I found the Amoeba Sisters and found biology more entertaining and found myself wanting to learn more. This channel has done a phenomenal job helping people understand complex studies and teaching in a family-friendly environment. Keep up the great work!
I have a final today. These videos have helped me immensely to gain an idea of what’s going on, then my required readings make more sense than they would had I not found this channel. The drawings are also great. Thank you.
I have been struggling with the whole cell phase in general and genetics with chromosomes and Karyotypes. Your videos have helped me so much this semester because you easily explain everything in a very simplistic way that makes sense and is clear to understand! I am so grateful for you guys, thank you so much for your amazing videos!
Thank you SOOO much for this!!! I have literally spend my entire life trying to figure out why two sister chromatids are still a chromosome, and you explained it so simply. These videos are the best!
I love your videos. I am actually taking a Human Heredity class and this helps a lot. I am a visual learner so this is perfect and much nicer than powerpoints!
I already knew all of this, but I'm gonna compliment on a very good video! Very easy to understand explanations about how all of this works and how to understand it, that someone who didn't know much about it before could follow along. A perfect video to show kids in school, and from the comments it looks like plenty of teachers have!
These were the exact doubts I was having since many years and I didn't get answer in any one of the youtube videos but I got it from you so thank you so much
i love the way u share ur stories with us, and it makes me happy we both had the same misconceptions. plus the way u teach is so enthusiastic. u don't sound dead or like a robot and speak really slowly and it helps me process the informations. sending lots of love :)
Great work Ma'am! After spending more than 4 days on internet I found this kind of video exactly explaining my queries. Thanks a ton! I thought only I was having these kind of doubts regarding no. of chromatids during metaphase and issues with 2n chromosome. This become further difficult to understand when you are not a bio student. Excellent work again! Thanks a lot!
I'm a teacher and this video made me so happy. Really appreciate all the hard work you've put here to give quality education to all students of biology :-)
you are trully incredible, i am sure that almost 90% of students dont undestand de graphic of the karyotype because the problem on the counting of chromosomes, you have clear a doubt that i have had for years, thanks
I actually stumbled upon this channel by accident, but I'm SO glad I did. You explain stuff SO much better than my college Biology teacher. Subscribed! P.S. I love the animations
thank you so much for this video..... I have been always confused about chromosomes for years..Our teacher don't pick up common misconceptions...but you did..It was really helpful !!! :)))))
THANK YOU x 1 000 000 for addressing the annoying tendency of showing chromosomes only as they exist after DNA replication and not how they are "most of the time" in the cell. Thank you for all your excellent video content.
Thank you guys so much! I'm starting reading materials from a high school book, but a lot of the information is confusing or partial. Just like the way they described chromosomes!
ABSOLUTELY!!!...ABSOLUTELY!!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. you wouldn't believe the amt of difficulties I went through regarding this representation of chromosomes in karyotype. thank you for existing🥰🥰
Wauw THANK YOU, I did not understand how to read this karyotype at all, I thought that the pair's where the sisters for way to long.... This video rocks!
Thanks a lot, Ameoba sisters. I can't explain in words how much I have benefited, Now only I understood fully about Chromosome and chromatid count. very nice explanation
I'm not really good at writing in English so my comment í going to be written in Vietnamese😅 Em là một học sinh lớp 9 tại Việt Nam. Tại nước em, các học sinh lớp 9 sẽ tham gia vào kì thi học sinh giỏi về 1 bộ môn mình yêu thích và em chọn môn sinh học. Thật may mắn làm sao khi em đã đậu quận và được dự thi vòng thành phố. Và ngày thi thành phố ấy chỉ còn 12 tiếng nữa là đến rồi. Tìm thấy một kênh youtube giải thích cặn kẽ, dễ hiểu và dễ thương về Sinh học đã giúp em bớt lo lắng và thoải mái hơn rất nhiều. Trên hết, em còn được tổng hợp tất cả kiến thúc về sinh học phân tử nữa chứ. Thank you, Amoeba Sister❤❤❤❤
This is the video I really need to solve my problem. I was sooooo confused about the numbers of chromosomes. But one thing I'd like to add is the reason after the duplicated chromosome is still consided one chromosome is because it still contains only one set of infomation. ( read it from our textbook.) Thanks Amoeba Sisters. This really helps
Dude,this makes studying biology even more fun because of this illustrations. I'm studying Cytogenetics,Anatomy & Physio, Bio-chemistry and Bio-statistics because University are mostly online now. Pdf's makes me sleepy sometimes.

Did you guys fix the video ? I can't see any difference (except the highlight) in those chromatids .
I love your videos but i have to keep pausing and rewinding to think because it's too fast.😥

Amoeba sisters and crash course are literally the reason im making it through college!!

When a 7-minute youtube video teaches you more than your teacher can in 50 minutes
Facts
Not 50 minutes, make it 2 months

Stating the truth there
My teacher makes his salary off these videos
butter than having salary while she/he is setting in the chair
DNDwiggins 😂 me too
😂😂😂😂😂
Especially now bro since quarantine
@@jakegonski4591 Learning an entire bio unit from the Amoeba sisters lmao
I am a 5th year medical student .. karyotyping was always confusing me ..and i was so shy to ask my professors ...thank u for clarifying this
So then maybe you can help clarify it to me... a karyotype is the shape of the chromosomes or how they look?
@@badenclosson8195 A karyotype is a chart that shows the number and visual appearance of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei of an organism or species.
@@badenclosson8195 so you would need a karyotype - for example - to confirm that you had a trisomy, or maybe a monosomy or things like that, also to check for other types of mutations
Is it important to study cytology in medical?
shouldve got it down by 9th grade freshman year, like i did. *smirks
Amoeba Sisters University... I would attend. Y'all have taught me so much I might as well get my degree from y'all instead
Tessa SAME
LITERALLY
My teacher plays your videos in class whenever we start a new topic
Im Legit
mines too
Im Legit same
me as teacher lol
if only every teacher did lmao but nah instead we gotta listen to dum lectures that boring and uneducating af lmao
@@sanctuary6054 if im a teacher ever imma give a list of youtube videos i used to learn from on the topic so even if im shit they always have youtube

It's been an 1hour since I discovered this channel.....and now I am a fan .
GREAT WORK AMOEBA SISTERS
God I cannot put in words how much I love your videos! They help me understand complicated concepts so much! Please never stop making such videos!
Thank you! I ironically have my test on this in... about 40 minutes. Quick and easy to understand review! Life saver♡
Stargazorlily how did it go?
how did it go lmao
Its good
Ayo how did it go?
how did it go?
I finally found a video that explains this subject perfectly! Thank you!
In this pandemic,you've come as a RUclips angel to save lives,,thank you
I love your videos. I am actually taking a Human Heredity class and this helps a lot. I am a visual learner so this is perfect and much nicer than powerpoints!
woah, you literally single handedly made me invested into biology, great stuff!
This is the most useful channel existed in history of youtube!!!!! I wish this can expand to different topics. Either way, keep up the good work!!!!!
love these videos. thanks for clearing up some things for me in a fun and enjoyable way! keep it up!
Everyone of these videos I watch, I always write new ones down. Thank you, amoeba sisters!😊

Thank you! You hit all of the things that have confused me throughout my biology classes (like when things are called chromosomes vs. chromatids)!
this was super helpful! Im a very visual learner and my professor is all talkie and no pictures. I needed this
This video explained so much in a short amount of time and was easy to understand.Thank you

Today began my personal journey of learning more about DNA coding. Thank you for creating videos of which are easy to watch, follow, and understand.
I'm a teacher and this video made me so happy. Really appreciate all the hard work you've put here to give quality education to all students of biology :-)
Amazingly explained chromosomes and how they are counted! Thanks so much!
I really love this channel, very unique, simple way of explaining biology
This channel is simply THE BEST!!!!
this is so fun to watch while learning, the illustration itself is so helpful to visualise and understand while it also gives entertainment.
Best explanation I have found on this subject.
Thank you!!! This really helped to clear up a lot of confusion about chromosome shape.
Ok I definitely fell in love with those videos. Thank you so much!!!
I have never laughed so hard to an educational video. I died when it started talking about eyes making stomach acid. This channel is awesome. XD
You ladies are amazing!!! Thank you Thank you! I’m a teacher and this really helps me better explain to my students!!!
you are trully incredible, i am sure that almost 90% of students dont undestand de graphic of the karyotype because the problem on the counting of chromosomes, you have clear a doubt that i have had for years, thanks
Thank you so much for these videos. The explanations and animations are great. They have helped me better understand my human genetics class.
Me stumbling across this channel like
I was looking for help..
But friggn found the Amoeba Sisters
dis do be the best discovery ive ever made
This video rocks!! thank you guys this is exactly the information I need for my bio exam! :D
thank you for making this complicated topic really easy to understand!!!
Just got to say amoeba sisters is saving my life🙏
I like these videos 10x better than Crash Course
Man, both are great
I don't know why a lot of y'all want to make everything a competition... both are amazing in their own way.
GOD. You totally understand the questions that made me so confused.
University professors should adopt your videos to play in lectures.
I have watched this entire play list a good 5 times now
Love you from the bottom of my heart . 😍😍got this clear after a long time
I actually stumbled upon this channel by accident, but I'm SO glad I did. You explain stuff SO much better than my college Biology teacher. Subscribed!
P.S. I love the animations
hey @ryan emery, are you a college student? like you mean UNI? & if you don't mind me asking can I know what are you studying?
First to not say "I got this channel from my class"🤣🤣🤣
i litterally love you, i was so confused about chromosomes and chromatids and this popped up
i just love you ♥ you answered all my questions that no one did before
Thank you so much for this animated vedio..I could clear most of my doubts
your videos are very informative. specially when you talk about misconceptions.
I've literally done all of my exam revision with youtube...
When a video teaches you more than your teacher does
thank you so much for this video..... I have been always confused about chromosomes for years..Our teacher don't pick up common misconceptions...but you did..It was really helpful !!! :)))))
Hooray for the Amoeba Sisters! My students love you.
Love your videos. I’ve been watching alll morning!
my teachers would explain this lesson in like 50 minutes. it's insane how you explained everything so well in just 7 minutes
THANK YOU x 1 000 000 for addressing the annoying tendency of showing chromosomes only as they exist after DNA replication and not how they are "most of the time" in the cell. Thank you for all your excellent video content.

You're doing a great job 👍 I've no words to say how helpful this is... tq amoeba sisters😇😇
My teacher plays your videos in class. Great channel and a quick and easy to learn.
watching this for my bio final in 3 days. literally life saving
Thanks I have a test on this next week and u really helped me out on the studying!
Thank you guys so much!
