I was revising this for hours and I did not learn anything but you showed this topic in 2 mins and for that I would like to say thank you rlly thank you
Man I just have one thing to say: you are absolutely killing it......................... Keep it all up as we all will see you hit that million mark soon.
Gosh!! I cant believe it was actually that simple. Our professor made it look like a big deal. Thanks to you I was able to understand in just 2 minutes. You're a lifesaver!!
Thank you for your presentation! my question is: wouldn't the grey fur be the dominant allele because it's darker and the orange fur be the recessive allele because it's lighter?
Hi, Thank you so much ! Just one question : Concretely, how do you know which allele is dominant and which allele is recessive ? Thanks a lot for your answer. Tifany from France :)
Great question Tifany. The way to dertimine dominance is through selective combinations of alleles and looking at the outcome. This is essentially what Gregor Mendel did when he bred pea plants. Now, we have mapped genomes and can use computer modeling to determine inheritance patterns.
You're welcome! Alleles are variations of a gene, this is the level at which dominance occurs. One allele is dominant over another. However, we usually don't use dominance when referring to genes, because one gene is not dominant over another gene.
thanks for explaining. but i also wanted to know how the genetic system knows which is the dominant allele? ie is there a separate record kept in the DNA itself?
Essentially, there are genetic markers on genes which determine expression, so a dominant allele actually has markers saying, "express me" and a recessive allele has a gene that says "express me if there are no dominant genes." Of course, it's much more complicated than this, but that is the general idea. Does that make sense?
Hi, Please tell me that why orange colour is dominant while grey colour is recessive allele? How is it decided that which allele will dominate over other?
as i watched the video i got a little less confused but still confused ahah but as i read through the comments i understood it more. my teacher gave me a question and it’s “are traits controlled by dominant alleles more common than traits controlled by recessive alleles?” and i have to do a CER on it. i am now able to write it i’m no longer confused 😌✌️
I found this video based on a search for videos that my students (college-level genetics students) have found and responded/reflected on. I was so happy that they reflected that THIS INFORMATION IS BAD!! It is incomplete. It is inaccurate. It is reductive. Most importantly - saying that one letter is capitalized and the other letter isn't capitalized DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING WHEN YOU ARE SAYING THAT TO DNA MOLECULES! You cannot tell a molecule what to do! You cannot tell a molecule what it is! The presence/functionality of the molecules in a cell/organism determines how they impact phenotype. It doesn't matter what we call them, it matters what they do. This took me more than 2 minutes to respond to, but I hope it will help enlighten future learning.
This is an oddly charged and mostly inaccurate message from a college professor. I'm not saying anything to DNA molecules or alleles or nucleotides. I'm not encouraging students to try to 'tell a molecule' what they should be or do. Did you actually watch the video? I literally say it doesn't matter what letters you chose and that we only use them to represent the allele dominance, this very standard. Scientists and science educators use models and analogies all the time to help explain science. This is not a paper published in The Journal of Genetics and Genomics, it's a UA-cam video attempting to help high school students understand a difficult science concept they are likely to encounter. And judging by the views, comments, and likes, I would say it does that very well. Is genetics more complicated than this video? Absolutely. But learning something complicated takes steps of knowledge. If your students have reviews on this video, I would love to hear them. Sincerely, I would.
So I think I am understanding that the allele's are either dominant or recessive. In your example how did you know that orange was dominant over grey? What made it dominant? If one thing is normally always dominant is there a list of the dominant allele's? I am trying to figure out what make one allele either dominant or recessive and how we would just know or figure that out? I appreciate the time you take to make these video. They are great!
If your asking about how you will know which trait is dominant or recessive on a school problem, it will be given in some form or another. Talk with your teacher about what they expect you to know for these types of problems. If you are asking how do scientists determine which trait is recessive and which is dominant, the short answer is, a lot of testing. Read up on Gregor Mendel if you're really interested in learning how dominance is determined. Let me know if you need me to explain further.
Your videos are great! Short, simple, and to the point! (Any chance you could fit the missing "e" in at the end of "recessive allel_s" so my students stop telling me about it when I ask them to watch this video? At least I know they are watching. Lol!)
Thanks Gretchen! I wish I was as sharp as your students at catching these spelling errors, unfortunately, I'm not 😞 and the software I use has no spell check 😭 I'll see if can add a note about the spelling errors.
Does the dominant allele always show over the recessive? Like is there a chance that the recessive shows over the dominant? Because the dominant gene is preferred when the cell is producing protiens but that doesn't mean the recessive can't be picked right?
There are different types of gene expression where both alleles can be expressed, but generally speaking, if it is a dominant/recessive relationship, the dominant allele will always be expressed, even if it's problematic.
So why is the fur color yellow eventhough it is "BB"? Why can't the gray be expressed? Please reply to my question as soon as possible, and you have really great videos. Thanks!
In this case, yellow (orange) is the dominant phenotype, so if there are any upper case letters (dominant alleles, B), then the fur will be yellow. The only way to get gray in this case is to have two recessive alleles (lower case letters). Does that make sense?
Oh. So for example, in humans, if you get "F" (dominant)(green eyes) from mom and "F" (dominant) (blue eyes) from dad, what will your eye color be? Or which color will be expressed outside?
When we say an allele is dominant, it is always attached to the same trait. So if green eyes are the dominant allele, they will always be dominant. Blue will never be dominant over green. This is not how eye color actually works, just an example for illustration.
Gimme a sec so that means 2 mins for one lesson, so we can flabbergastingly complete more than a half or half a chapter in a day, the whole syllabus in a couple of months, and the best part, vacations come closer!
When you said the letter did not mater I was reminded how the main reason I got points off on my test was because I used the wrong letter. So be careful and ask your individual teacher it may be different for you. Edit: but It was not because this video and thanks though.
Ah, great point, and I'm sorry it cost you. Always check with your teacher. However, there are no genes that require a certain letter, as far as science is concerned, so you should be able to show understanding of the concepts with any letter.
In the case of multiple alleles (3 or more) you have to know what the hierarchy of the alleles are, which can get pretty complicated. Let's look at a simple example using rabbit fur color. Imagine there are four possible fur colors for rabbits, brown (B), white (W), black(K), and red(R). I have noted there allele letter by each, you use different letters for each allele with multiple alleles. Lets say the hierarchy of dominance is such that B>W>K>R. So now we can look at a few examples and determine the phenotype or fur color. BK would be brown, as would BB, BW, and BR because B is the most dominant of all the alleles. If there is a B present, the fur color will be brown. KR would be black while KW or WK would be white. In this example, the only way to get a rabbit with red fur color is to have the genotype RR. I hope that made sense and answered your question. Let me know if you have more!
@@aboosedcaboose1141 Im as sarcastic as anybody I know. But if somebody is asking a genuine question, thats not the place to throw that down. Especially with such a hilarious topic as sexism.
Thank you so much for such a great explanation... But I have a question which is confusing me a lot... HOW TO KNOW WHICH ONE WE HAVE TO TAKE AS A DOMINANT AND RECESSIVE? LIKE THERE ARE ALSO SOME CASES LIKE BLUE COLOUR OF EYE AND BLACL IN THIS WHICH WE HAVE TAKE AS A DOMINANT AND RECESSIVE AND WHY? PLS ANSWER MY QUESTION...
I don't have a firm answer on this, my guess would be that they were some how more adventageous to a species, and thus become the "better" trait to have. I hope that helps.
You put two cats as an example but both cats are the same except the color you chose for each. Now my question is what's the main difference between them

I've been reading the textbook for 2 days, trying to understand dominant vs recessive alelles.. TY!
I'm glad I could help, and I'm sorry you didn't find the video sooner.
man, I love how you can explain something that is super complicated and make it seem so easy
I mean why is it not this easy in the book?
Thank you so much.
Yea, books can be confusing. Maybe I should write a book, haha!

haha, good to know!
woah, i was literally about to have a mental breakdown from homework because i couldn't understand it, this helped SO much!! thank you :))
I'm so glad you found it, I'm just sorry it took so long.
Can u please explain how do we know which ones are dominant and which are recessive?
I'm in 7th grade and I want to be a pediatric anesthesiologist and I read you had to be good at Biology so here I am lol
Solid goal! And yes, you will study A LOT of biology.
SO helpful thank you!! Ive been stuck on this all night and thought might as well try UA-cam. I got the concept in two minutes!
I'm sorry it took so long to understand it, glad I could help though.
I didn't understand before this!!! Thank you!!!
Glad I could help.
Gosh!! I cant believe it was actually that simple. Our professor made it look like a big deal. Thanks to you I was able to understand in just 2 minutes. You're a lifesaver!!
Thanks man you helped me with the most difficult subject and it’s easy u deserve at least 4 million subs
My science teacher assigns us to watch ur vids
You must have a very smart science teacher! Be sure to thank them for me 😍
same here
Thank you for this! But how is it determined wether which one will be the dominant or recessive? Will it be given already??
Yes it should be givin
Thanks 2 hours of explanition in 3 minutes
What a legend, I understood it in 2 min. Thanks!

So, two grey cats can never produce a orange cat, but two orange cats can produce a grey cat... Is this correct???
Ossum l have cleared my doubts regarding tis topic 😃😃
U Just nailed it .......❤
So how do you determine dominant/recessive if there's more than 2 alleles for a single trait?
In the case of multiple alleles (3 or more) you have to know what the hierarchy of the alleles are, which can get pretty complicated.
Let's look at a simple example using rabbit fur color. Imagine there are four possible fur colors for rabbits, brown (B), white (W), black(K), and red(R). I have noted there allele letter by each, you use different letters for each allele with multiple alleles.
Lets say the hierarchy of dominance is such that B>W>K>R. So now we can look at a few examples and determine the phenotype or fur color. BK would be brown, as would BB, BW, and BR because B is the most dominant of all the alleles. If there is a B present, the fur color will be brown. KR would be black while KW or WK would be white. In this example, the only way to get a rabbit with red fur color is to have the genotype RR.
I hope that made sense and answered your question. Let me know if you have more!
Thanks for the clarification! So how are the alleles hierarchy determined in the real world?

So dominant traits can also occur from my mother, right? It doesn’t always have to occur from my dad?
