*Fun fact:* Blood cells have 0 chromosomes because they lack a nucleus and we know that chromosomes are found within the nucleus. (Learnt that today❤️😀!)*
Very well presented. Good overview of genetic inheritance. The fundamental genetic differences between male and female inheritance traits. Over 30 years ago I was studying genetics relevant to environmental biology. You provided a great, relaxing revision of the fundamentals. Enjoyed it and have subscribed. Like the soft whispers and keen to get more genetic/biological revisions.
Hi, can you do more biology asmr videos? It's one of my biggest passions and it's really calming to hear you explaining stuff that I already know. I've seen other asmr channels doing something simmilar, but they don't compare, tbh. Great video!
You've made the difference between genes and alleles clearer than anything I've encountered before. A few questions I'm curious about: Is there a sepctrum of dominance in alleles? Eg, we know Brown dominates Blue (in eye colour) but say for example Blue dominates Green? Or is it binary, an allele is either Dominant or Recessive, and if so, what happens when there are two different Dominant alleles (or the same with Recessive)? Do we know why chromosomes are the shape they are? Are the genes in the middle part harder to "get to"? You are an ace teacher btw!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad it was clear! To answer your first question, there are tons of situations where it’s more complicated than just one dominant and one recessive. A lot of genes are simple and binary but I would say most are more complicated. One thing is codominance, where two alleles are both equally dominant. This can result in, say, a flower that is both red and white because both colors are dominant. There’s also incomplete dominance, which would result in a pink flower because both colors are showing up but they are essentially mixed.
As far as the chromosomes, we know that they are essentially wound up DNA that exists in strands but I’m not sure if we know why the exact structure is the way it is. Across the chromosome, I believe that the genes are equally accessible except for at the very middle. The middle is called the centromere and the DNA is packed extremely tightly so it’s very hard to get to.
This was a great tutorial--you explained it all really well and your drawings and writing conveyed everything perfectly. I'm glad you wrote "Punnett squares" in the description, b/c I didn't know how to spell it just from listening to you. I just had to google Father of Genetics b/c I forgot his name (Gregor Mendel)...I think that's where I first saw Punnett squares. Didn't he experiment with peas? Or show their genetic makeup? Some things I'd be interested in learning more about are the traits like the ability to roll your tongue; the 2 types of earlobes; and mid-digital hair. I forget what the term for those is but you prolly know what I'm talking about. Also, I'm interested in what causes Down's syndrome. Sorry for the long comment. and today I learned that you're a Lefty!
Thank you so much for your comment and I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, you’re correct that Mendel experimented with pea plants! Maybe I can do another genetics video in the future i think the Down’s syndrome idea sounds great!
My cousin has green eyes. Her parents has brown eyes. Our grandparents has brown eyes. However, our great grandparent had green eyes and our greatgranmother had brown eyes. Idk what caused this green eye gene to wake up after 100 years 🤣
@@leti9340 that just means that the green eye gene was passed onto each child but the brown eye gene was also passed on so everyone’s eyes were brown. But when the parents got together they both had one green eye gene and happened to both pass it on so the child got green eyes!
@@pamelaasmr that's cool to know, thanks Pam! I would never have guessed that her father also has green eyes genes. We don't have any kind of communication with him.
So in your expert opinion, how much of "personhood" is determined by genetics? Personality traits, disposition, health, MENTAL HEALTH, intelligence, etc? As opposed to nurture... Maybe this is a dumb question. English major here.
That’s a great question! It’s actually kind of a big debate because nobody knows for sure. I would say that pretty much everything has a genetics basis that predisposes you to a specific trait but then nurture and environment can impact what traits you actually express. Of all the things you listed, I would say that mental health has the strongest genetic basis.
POV: You have to study for a biology test, but you want to sleep too.
Haha 😂
But it's so true!!!!! Tomorrow I have an evaluation in biology
Anatomy for me😓
i’m studying economics but there was none for that so i choose biology 😂💗
yes
I’m passionate about genes and biology in general and I lack sleep thank you
Haha I’m glad you enjoyed! I want to do another one soon

So articulate and well spoken and soft spoken....never thought learning could be so relaxing.....
Aw thank you!
i literally adore you for this

Thank you! I’ve made like 3 more of these already!
@@pamelaasmr Great! I'll check them out!
can you do another one explaining control gene expression in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
I have my biology exam tomorrow but I need to do more revision as well as sleep so hopefully this comes up in the paper! :)
Haha good luck!
Did you pass the test?
@@leoVangert yeah I did lol thanks, these acc helped sm
@@how_to_scratch9610 oh lol hahaha, didn’t expect you to answer
Great explanation- if you followed up on this with a discussion on recessive and dominant genes that would be cool!
Great idea!
My favourite topic in biology! Very fascinating and interesting.
This is so much clearer than it was in freshman biology class
Haha I’m glad!
I dont need to study Biology, im good at it, but despite the fact i need to study physics and chem, i will watxh this instead, ty ❤
i can finally study while sleeping
i have my ap bio exam tomorrow, this helped a lot!
Good luck!
I have a ap bio test tomorrow morning on sex linked traits and this video popped up in my recommended lol!
Kinda creepy lol 😂
Superb explanation. I really enjoyed this video.
I’m so glad! Thanks so much for watching!!❤️
I needed a revision..Thank you!😊
Haha of course! Thanks so much for watching!
Professor Pam, thank you for the lesson lol.
Haha I love the nickname maybe that should be my new channel name
@@pamelaasmr Haha Professor Pam ASMR - providing you with educational tingles, brilliant.
Starting IB mock exams on Wednesday and I’m screwed for bio HL. Praying this is gonna magically make me pass
Good luck!

I want you as my biology teacher rn 😭
Haha thank you!
Omgggg could you do chemistry and physics too pleasereee I would be happy if you did ❤❤❤
Like bonds in chemistry and things

I didn't find the whole Playlist 😢
What playlist?
My mom has green eyes and my dad has brown eyes. I have green eyes.
My cousin has green eyes.

That means you dad must be heterozygous for the brown/green eye gene so they both passed on a green eye gene to you!

@@pamelaasmr Figures. I never stood a chance, born to a family rife with mental illness and adopted by a family with a toxic, abusive dynamic. Sad.
@Mandy J I’m really sorry to hear that. A lot of mental illnesses are very genetic but environment and nurture definitely contributes
@@pamelaasmr ♡
your freaking goated
biology eoc on wednesday
Fun fact: my eoc is tomorrow morning 😅
Ahh good luck!
pov: ur bio final is tmrw
Tomorrow gcse 😢
most calico cats are female, not all. i wouldn’t use that as an opening
@@sealin01 maybe give some proof when you make a claim 😂 this entire video was dedicated to supporting that claim
Super intelligent and beautiful=🔥🔥🔥🤪! Hope your day is going great! I’m guessing you are still on vacation!
The mic is loud
I didn’t even have a mic when I made this video lol
Maybe why it was too harsh for me
