I'm taking a proteomics class, and your videos are helping to fill in a lot of the background information that the instructor expects for us to know. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
I have a Ph.D. in microbiology & immunology and no, I have never memorized the codon table. Most people know the start codon (AUG) and the three stop codons (UAA, UGA, and UAG), but I don't know anyone who memorized the rest. It is more important to know how to read the table and evaluate sequences with it than to memorize it. Good luck with your future studies!
Biology Professor I have a question. Can our genes really have a hidden message from God inside them? Because I saw that on youtube. Like there is a message inside our DNA that says something about God. Is that really true?
They are all linked. The codon in the mRNA is complementary (by complementary nucleotide base pairing via hydrogen bonds) to a specific anticodon on tRNA that is linked to a specific amino acid. This means that the right amino acids get inserted into the growing polypeptide chain in the right order, according to the genetic code, which says which amino acids are put into the polypeptide by the tRNA based on specific codons that the anticodons can hydrogen bond with.
@@BiologyProfessor I am asking this to help someone but is the genetic code just a way that humans can understand the structure of biology ? Or is it a literal code ? I know this sounds dumb.
I'm not sure what you mean by "dependent" - The start codon is the first codon of each mRNA trascript, so it is the first to be translated by a ribosome. The most common start codon is AUG and it almost always codes for methionine in eukaryotes and formylmethionine in prokaryotes., although there are instances of alternative start codons. See more information here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Start_codon
I just wanna ask for for possible species, AUG is always the combination to be a start codon thanks for your further explanation I'm reviewing materials I used to study, I almost forget them
Not sure I understand your question, but yes, codons of three nucleotides make up the genetic code. These are the nucleotides in mRNA that are complementary to the ones in DNA, made during transcription.
Hello. Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. I would like to ask that how is it possible for a particular gene of an organism to work well when it is inserted into a different kind of organism. For example, the genes of a luminous jellyfish is being inserted into mice which also becomes luminescent mice. Is it because the genetic code or the order of nucleotides are same among all kinds of organisms and that is why it can match successfully?
It’s because all organisms use the same genetic code, so they can all “decode” the instructions (the nucleotide sequence of the gene) in the same way, creating the same protein. It’s why the gene for human insulin can be inserted into yeast cells, and the yeast can make the human insulin protein.
Yikes. I've NEVER been asked to memorize all the codons and I would never ask my students to memorize them. I only have a few memorized myself. As a teacher, I believe that you need to know how to USE the codon table to quickly and efficiently locate which codon codes for which amino acid, but I would never expect a student to memorize them all!
Can I ask a question that needs to be answered ? What I am going to ask is the genetic code literally their ? Or is it just a way for people to understand genetics and works like a language ? I know this sounds dumb but I am literally asking does the genes actually contain actual 1's and 0's or is that a human langue to explain the way biology work's ? I am asking this to help someone else and I am thinking it is not a literal code but rather a human idea to explain genetics.
Three nucleotides code for 1 amino acid. So you might think that 90 nucleotides would code for 30 amino acids, but the last three nucleotides are probably a stop codon (telling the ribosome to let go of the finished polypeptide) so the answer is most likely 29 amino acids. You can see this in the video, where 21 nucleotides code for 6 amino acids, because the last 3 nucleotides are a stop codon. Hope that makes sense!
Hello Mam. Some people say DNA is a proof of GOD. because it is a precise language (No overlapping) to code different proteins.What's your view on this?
I personally find the genetic code (of humans and all organisms) to be fascinatingly complex. We still have so much to learn! As a religious person, I view DNA as an incredible creation of God. But there is no way to scientifically prove or disprove the existence of God, so I just take it on faith. :)
+Biology Professor- We do not believe based on “blind faith.” It may be that we experience an undeniable, unquestioned knowing when we hear the testimony of God and salvation in Jesus Christ. But, once we begin to seek God, to pray and to see the results of prayer, there is no longer blind faith. The path of increasing faith can be compared to the scientific process (though the claim God must be “proved” via any particular system of logic rules is illegitimate). One trial is one prayer. In the lab, things don’t always work. So, we examine the procedure. When a prayer fails, it may be the prayer is delayed. Or, it can be we prayed for wrong reasons (e.g. money to buy narcotics or a new Mercedes, better than friends’ Porsches) or prayed in a way untrue to the desires of our hearts (see my video, ‘A Prayer Isn’t a Prayer Unless You Mean It.) So, I can say, for the sake of conversation, that God has been proven experimentally when I prayed for a way to pay for my UPenn college costs and the next day, not 10 hours later, the owner of the little store where I worked GAVE me the store. And it paid all my tuition. I prayed God would “Put them into our hands” when I was in the Middle East seeking Al Qaida... and a man literally, just 3 hours later, puts a flier into my hands... for Al Shifa honey company... which was a front moving money to fund jihadi camps in Yemen. Same day, we met a source who led us to two AQ lieutenants, who than had to flee before completing their mission: to decapitate an American or Brit on film. I have thousands of testimonies of things God did in my life. It would be absurd, even insanity, for me to say I believe only on “faith.” I have faith. God has built up that faith in me over decades. * I think you will find a blog post of mine interesting, as will any researchers seeking the great breakthroughs of our time: ‘Inventions that Came in Dreams: Largest Collection on the Internet.’ It lists many scientific breakthroughs that came in dreams.

Glad to hear it. Good luck in your class!
I am so glad to have found this channel. This makes so much more sense! thank you so much
I love to hear that! Thanks for watching. :)
From Tanzania, loved your videos
I wish you were my biology teacher, I would have become a medical doctor...you’re a GENIUS teacher👍🏽👍🏽
Great presentation. Really helpful. Thank you so much !
Thanks a lot madam.
It helped a lot for NEET preparations.
Thanks alot this is helpful and well explained
Hello prof...i just wanna know if we have to remember the codons table(amino acids) if we pursue our studies in microbiology???

how are genetic codes, codons and anti-codons similar/different in terms of location, structure and function?
They are all linked. The codon in the mRNA is complementary (by complementary nucleotide base pairing via hydrogen bonds) to a specific anticodon on tRNA that is linked to a specific amino acid. This means that the right amino acids get inserted into the growing polypeptide chain in the right order, according to the genetic code, which says which amino acids are put into the polypeptide by the tRNA based on specific codons that the anticodons can hydrogen bond with.

how is the start codon dependent, for every species?

is this spanish, french, italian?
If there is a mutation every 3rd codon, without changing the amino acid, would that be known as a point mutations?
Each individual would be a silent (not changing the amino acid) point mutation.

Flash cards. Quizlet.

It is a literal code. It shows which amino acids are used for each codon in mRNA.
Great work....i like you explanation. However i feel you clips are abit shorter🤓
if there are 90 nucleotide then number of amino acid will be
- via YTPak(.com)
Three nucleotides code for 1 amino acid.

ধন্যবাদ (thanks).
Thanks!!!
I thought UGG is a stop tip
UGG codes for tryptophan. Stop codons are UGA, UAG, and UAA.
Why genetic code is not universal?
It is universal. Except for a few modified amino acids used by some bacteria.
Poor sound quality
So beautiful
iam trying to focus but i cannot coz you re beautiful
