Genes, DNA and Chromosomes explained

This newest science animation is about genes, DNA and Chromosomes. There is SO much more to say about this subject, but I decided to start off with the basics, and I will definitely make another animation on this subject again. Don't hesitate to comment if you it turns out I made an mistake somewhere, or if you want to tell me something else!

Hi there,
I was about to use this video for my class, but I found a mistake. Your base pair colours don't match up properly when the bases are being explained. This may not be too hard for you to fix. A always binds to T, G always binds to C (except when a mutation is formed)

[@2MC]

Good catch!

[@ScienceExplained]

I made an edit! I hope this helps!

Shut up smarty pants no one cares

dude he was just helping make the video better. You didn't have to try to put him down for it. Also, you know I care and a lot of people do he made the video better and you get mad at him for it like damn you must be having a bad day to act like this. Also, remember have a good day :D

[@flippedscience3822]

Science Explained unfortunately, they are still not right yet in the animation. I do hope you can create the consistency required. It is in the use of colours in the unlabelled animation (Blue is paired with green and pink instead of always with only green for example) and in your letter code where G is paired incorrectly with T. It is important that science facts like these are communicated in such a way as to remove the possibility of misconceptions forming. You have put a lot of effort into making it so it would be great if people can use it to learn correctly. Hope that helps.

when a 136 second video taught you more than your biology teacher did for 2 hours

[@sumaiyaakhter2202]

Desolate factsss lmaoo

[@liamreynolds3824]

Desolate When you learn more from about 5, 1 - 5 minute science videos than you did in your whole year of science.....And that's just Biology.

[@ITSuperfanGuy]

FACTS. Like holy shit I thought I was the only one

[@alexanderroque5414]

FACTS

[@1yougotrickrolled603]

I think it's because videos are polished down whilst lectures and teaching is teachers saying the information in their own words. Teachers are more descriptive but these videos are straight to point. It's the basics.

[@anabelleb4719]

Learnt more in a two minute video than I did in a whole terms worth of science classes! Thank you so much, very much appreciated

[@ScienceExplained]

You are so very welcome!

[@bhavinbhavi]

you are absolutely right..

[@kevenprogramming]

When ur science teacher see this..

[@ILoveMac1001]

Can we talk about how relaxing and calming his voice is

[@Sina_TM]

Was looking for a very simple video explaining just these three. Didn't really think I'd find one this good. Very easy to understand for someone with zero knowledge on the subject, great voice-over, simple yet beautiful animation with an amazing piano piece in the background. Thank you! Will definitely watch your other videos.

[@Sooaunii]

Cognito is really helpful

[@triplec7713]

The ease of explaining and understanding I have gotten from this video in one shot is amazing

[@sheyg2940]

That was ridiculously concise and yet still taught a lot of good, foundational information for understanding biology. Great stuff!

This is an excellent capsulazation! I will use it with my ESL class of international students. THis is the FIRST time I've ever made a comment on a TH-cam video & I use them often in class. So kudos to you & your designers.

[@blackbird163]

Wonderful job. Loved the animation, music, calm voice over. Understandable vocabulary

[@rowansaini1370]

Best explanation ever! Took me 3 months to learn what this guy summed up in 2 minutes!

[@ianhuangncubed]

The music and your voice give the video a certain calming effect, I quite enjoy it.

[@srutea]

I used this to help study for my science test and it really helped me! Thank you!!

[@MM-si9lp]

Excellent video! Very clear and informative. Keep up the good work 👍

[@Zany_Phil]

'you just made a confusing concept so lucid. Thank you so much!! Much appreciated.

[@chenni4127]

I really love how calmly this was delivered ...thank you

[@emy54918]

Literally 😭the voice is magical

[@blakethebotica2326]

This was the best explanation yet!
Thank you so much I understand the relationship between chromosomes, genes and DNA.
I was studying for my exams and this really helped.

[@diantonovich]

Best explained!! Definitely more of this!

[@violetjane7152]

Thanks, Great explanation, went through other videos, and had no clue what the voice over was talking about, other then trying to sound smart. This video simplies the basic concepts for a foundation of knowledge and understanding , that can be built upon .

[@Brokeassguidetolife]

Great stuff! Love this. The animation and the mellow voice. Why couldn't this be the way I was taught science at school?

[@ScienceExplained]

That's great to hear :)

[@sumaiyaakhter2202]

Thank you so much! This has been more helpful than my textbook.

Thank you for this video, it helped me paraphrase my power point for my final project. It's so informational!

[@lennetdavis1483]

I enjoyed the detailed video that gave me a better understanding of the functions of Genes, DNA and Chromosomes. The animation was very nice too.

[@daniellaramirez5177]

I really like the video! I used it to make my explanation of chromosomes to my 7 year old less abstract! However, I noticed that the base pairs are not matched up correctly, A always pairs with T, and C always pairs with G (unless there's a mutation). Sorry to be a critic, overall it was a wonderful presentation and really helped bring together some concepts for my little guy!
