Thanks for stopping by. This is 2 Minute Classroom and today I’m giving you 7 facts about DNA that will blow your mind.
For those of you who are new here, I love DNA and all things genetics, and if you're not impressed by the facts on this list then you might as well walk home.
If you do enjoy these facts, I would love nothing more then to have you share this video with your friends. You can tag me on Facebook or Twitter @2minuteclassroom and I will thank you personally with comment or gif.
Now to the list!
#1 - The DNA in a single human cell is roughly 6 feet long if fully stretched out. And if you took all the DNA from every cell in your body, it would stretch more than 100 billion miles. Long enough to span our entire solar system… 14 times.
#2 - The human genome contains about 20,000 genes. However, those genes only make up 1-2% of your DNA. The rest is called non-coding DNA, which scientists thought had little value to us. However, recent research shows that this non-coding DNA may, in fact, have some very vital functions.
#3 - Your genes are not as unique as you may think. you probably know that identical twins are 100% similar, and you also probably know that you’re a 50/50 split of your mom and dad. But did you know that you also share approximately 50% of your genes with your siblings? And that fraternal twins only share 50%? Your genes have an approximate 25% similarity with your grandparents’ and your aunts and uncles and 12.5% with first cousins.
#4 - DNA is great at storing data. 1 gram of DNA can hold about 700 terabytes of data, the equivalent of 358,000 hours of HD video, which would take over 40 years to watch... if you never slept. And you have over 50 grams of DNA.
#5 - The human genome is a complete sequence of human DNA, all 3 billion base pairs, including the location of all genes. If you were to type out the entire human genome at 60 words per minute, it would take 95 years. Needless to say, it took a collaborative effort by the scientific community to map the human genome. You can learn more about it in this video.
#6 - Your mitochondria has its own DNA that is separate from the DNA stored in the nucleus. Interestingly, you get your mitochondria from your mother, so the mitochondrial DNA comes from your maternal line, stretching back through your mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and beyond. Sorry, dad.
And #7 - We have digitized the DNA sequence of several notable people, including Stephen Hawking, Lance Armstrong, and Stephen Colbert. This digital DNA is stored in the “Immortal Drive” which is a hard drive orbiting the earth on the international space station. So whoever finds it after we are long gone will think humans were fit, funny, and highly intelligent.

Which DNA fact blew your mind the most?
All of them lol

This guy can teach me in 2 minutes better than my teacher
Or at least in 3 minutes and 39 seconds 😅
Thanks for the love ❤️
@@2MC your welcome :)
This video 3:39
3 mins and 38 seconds acctually
Great video. I am student teaching right now and was looking for a quick video to engage the students and this is exactly what I am looking for.
DNA screams loud and clear: GOD IS REAL❤️❤️❤️
I fully concur that science and religion can inform and support each other.
God is absolutely real. Just see the creations of this earth.
Actually, just the opposite.
@@jon1rene haha how blind can b a prsn to deny that God exist. This intelligent design can't come from nothing
@@egoiisticprince7977 yes it can. over billions of years of evolution, our bodies evolved itself to design this intelligent thing, called dna
Wow!! I’m blown away!! Thank you!❤
Amazing ❤️ 💚👏👍
Thanks
Hi 👋🏻 what percent do we share of DNA 🧬 with our niece and nephews?
Hi i love your vids!
Thank you!
@@2MC you are welcome!
Absolutely amazing. Its obvious that this much information in Dna is not accidental and that there is a programmer to us like a computor being programmed by its maker.
Almighty Allah is the maker, creator and programmer of all Dna and human beings and he does not resemble any of his creation.
I enjoyed the video. Very well explained. Thanks a lot,
❤
💛
nice vdo
Thanksss
Is it true you can ingest other people's DNA?
Sir plz can you make video on mitochondria
Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Lol
Cool

Hey I love your way of teaching......
Thank u
And I m from. 🇮🇳 INDIA
Thank you 😍
@@2MC where aru u from?

Does dna have infinite combinations
Could you please make a video about the difference between DNA and RNA

Great video. Quick question, how do scientists know that we have 50 grams of dna?
Great question.
It's an estimate.
Essentially, we know the weight of all the DNA in single cell. We also know approximately how many cells are in the body. Multiply those two numbers together and you get the weight of all DNA in the body.
Science, specifically human DNA facts made me believe and led me to actually experience God's existence !!
Indeed, science does not disprove God's existence..
Can DNA change if you are brought up in a different country to your birth and have DNA from this country?
There is a whole field of study called "epigenetics" which focuses on how your genes can be expressed differently based on environmental factors.
@@2MC where can I find this study. I have 8% from the country I was brought up in. Seems a high percentage. Thanks
Bro you're like a mini-kurzgesagt
Verryy cool!
Thanks friend. This is a high compliment.
All
Right
Почему 2 минуты а видио идёт больше 3-ех минут я понять не могу наку
Sorry about that...
@@2MC no it is not problem it is joke) hello from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
💛💜💛
good video. You'd get more views if you went metric!
Thanks. What do you mean by 'metric'?
@@2MC Meters, seconds, Kilograms.
DNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
DNA ftw!
number 7 was a mistake because these people were jokers.
Only time will tell.
Is it true we share about 44% of our DNA with bananas?
You said you loved DNA but you did not say no homo😳😔😌
🤔🤔
funny how future people will see lance Armstrong DNA as humanity's best athlete .. considering the fact he used enhancer drugs to win his titles, doesn't this perfectly explain about us as humans
Preserving our species with accuracy
So whoever finds it, long after we are gone, will think humans were fit, funny, high intelligent white men.
Good point. There are many others included, and hopefully more diverse.
Sorry but Colbert is a bad choice. His brand of comedy (so-called) is funny only to specific groups of people --- not to the nation as a whole. Just as it would be identically wrong to digitize Ann Coulter's DNA. Only specific groups of people find her humor funny. A way better choice would have been Jerry Seinfeld. Every American and indeed people throughout the world identify with his simple, engaging, ironic, non-political brand of humor. Colbert, not at all so.
Which are the best books about DNA
Stephen Colbert funniest man alive!
Love from Pakistan @2minuteclassroom ❤❤
U r awesome 💗
