Chromosome Structure and Organization

  • We've all seen pictures of chromosomes, and we know that they contain DNA. But how do we get from the double helix of DNA to the X-looking shape of a chromosome? Is it just DNA, or are there other things in there? How much DNA is in each chromosome? Chromosomal structure is incredibly complicated, but now that we've learned about DNA and proteins, as well as Mendelian genetics for a little context, we are finally ready to get a more sophisticated view of what's inside a chromosome.

    I love you Professor Dave! I can't express much how grateful I am for all your effort in making these comprehensive contents in different fields of Natural Science. I am currently taking my Grad studies and I am literally stuck with all the concepts we are learning in class for I don't have a strong grasp of the basic concepts in Biology, Biochem and Chemistry. With your videos, I'm slowly recovering and retaining all the information I have learned way back in my undergrad. Thank you so much. May the Almighty bless you more. (:

    When the maternal & paternal DNA strands join, surely the sequence of genes is different in each, but the different A T C G acids need to join correctly (A+T, C+G), so is one of the strands 'dominant' & any non-matching acid in the other strand skipped until the correct matching acid is found?

      A homologous chromosome is made of two sister chromatids. The sister chromatids are 100% identical to each other. A homologous chromosome is a pair of chromosomes that are almost identical, 1 from ur dad and one from ur mom, but they have a tiny difference in them.
      They call the sister chromatid of a homologous chromosome simply chromatid for some reason. chromaTIN is just the loose form of genetic material in a cell.

    Why sister chromatids are identical as u say and on the other hand u say that homologous are not identical?

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  5 років тому +6

      sister chromatids are the product of replication so they must be identical, homologous chromosomes are just corresponding chromosomes but they come from your two parents so they are not precisely the same.

      @ProfessorDaveExplains  4 роки тому +1

      A gene corresponds with a particular trait, like the pea plant traits from Mendel's work. Two different alleles may code for two different versions of the same trait. Watch my tutorial on Mendelian genetics it will make sense.

      @@ProfessorDaveExplains , so I get: a gene, for example, codes for a person's skin colour, and the two alleles of that gene may be coding brown and white colour, coming from his 2 parents. Many thanks.
      I understand how a gene sequence translates to a protein formation. I am however not convinced how that translates to a particular trait, eye size, say. Second question: all the cells in my body contain identical DNA, i.e. each cell has identical set of genes, thus a cell present at my eye has the gene code for my hand length too, and vice versa? So how come the 'right' gene decodes at my eye cells and the right genes decode at my hand cells. May I get some clues regarding this please.

    Hey Dave, Drunvalo Melchizedek (the guy the spirit science channel takes all its ideas from) claims that native australians have one less chromosome pair than the rest of the human race. I can find absolutely nothing supporting this. Any idea where this idea might have come from? Apparently this idea has gotten around a lot- see Carl Jung, Tool, etc...
