I just wanted to thank you for making these videos open to the public. I am taking genetics at the moment with a horrible teacher. After reading the book 1,000 times I decided to check out UA-cam and luckily found your lectures! Amazing
*Oh boy, 20 free lectures on genetics?* I'm a history & social studies major looking to go into psychology for grad school & I can tell your lectures are gonna help a lot. Thanks for the upload, it's really a good service! :)
i love comments like these from people who are autodidacts using youtube to teach themselves about science. Its very inspiring that people want to learn using the internet and free resources in spite of socioeconomic circumstances
Thank you, Thomas, for putting all the work, time, and effort to make this available online. I'm crash-coursing through your videos in preparation for actually taking the course at university. Thanks a million.
I’m having insomnia and listening to this lecture to help me sleep. But its also extremely engaging. I just finished Behave by Sapolsky, Brain Energy by Palmer and up to chapter 13 of Brain & Behaviour. I’m really interested in genetics as well. The talking is very relaxing but the content is also very educational at the same time.
Thank you for making your lessons open to public! I am a student at the last year of an Italian high school and I have been passionate about the subject in class so I looked for a way to deepen the topic and I'm extremely happy to have found your videos. I find them simple but precise and explained in a nice and easy way to follow without getting bored at all. I think I'll probably watch the whole series before the summer break ends. Thank you so much again!!
I just wanted to say thank you so much. I went back to grad school for a career change into plant genetics, and it's been 10 years since I had basic genetics as an undergrad (and if we're being real, I was not the best student as an undergrad). I also didn't major in biology, but natural resources management for both my BS and first MS, so not a huge focus on this stuff anyways. Now I'm in two graduate-level genetics classes and feel like I'm having to re-teach myself everything. And you've got so much good content that I feel like after a week or so of daily 4+ hours of your vids and taking notes, I'll be caught up enough to be able to hang on.
You are an amazing teacher with a great passion for teaching and disseminating the knowledge across the world. May the blessing be with you and your loved ones!!! Prof. May I know if you have uploaded these slides on a website or what text book you recommend. Stay safe and blessed!
The session was quite encouraging sir .My question is "Does the proteins synthesized in different organisms act/work differently or not ? Do they play same role in all organism?"
You certainly got off to a great start with this introductory course on genetics for what I presume to be undergraduate biology or life science majors, in lucid and clear manner without the usual pompous and presumptuous manner that is notorious with too many college professors (particularly the tenured ones). And, yes, Watson is a jerk who falls in that category and he's not even a professor but a traveling Nobel Laureate lecturer who's been capitaluzing on his questionable accomplishment, commanding premium speaker fees from the top universities of the world ever since getting the Prize. Previous viewers of this first lecture seemed to show positive responses, as well. But, I will reserve my final critique of your series until I see how well you make difficult concepts easy to grasp as it progresses in the remaining lectures.
Hi Anthony - I wish I could say that I was pining for the early days of our collective evolution before the pivotal Philadelphia translocation event reduced our chromosome number from 48 to 46, permanently severing our lineage from our closest cousins, the chimpanzee. But, alas, this was just a simple and boring error of misspeaking. Happens to all of us…
Thank you so much for your lecture Mr. Mennella. I am going to take a course in general genetics this Fall, and this lecture video helps a bunch. I look forward in learning genetics through the rest of your video.
Thomas Mennella, Is there a possibility that you share the power points? only if it is possible, and if it is not possible, I thank you anyway for these valuable lectures
So true! And the right order of credit (actually, perhaps then it should be Franklin, Crick and Watson in order of importance). Thanks so much for the rightly deserved shout out!
@@thomasmennella5501 oh thank you so muchh for taking the time to reply!! These lecture series are amazing!! And you're super! Keep posting!! I really appreciate your work!!
@@thomasmennella5501 I've watched all your lectures and learned so much. Thank you so much. I really needed this as I am about to start a marine biology master but was just lacking some knowledge in genetics. I've also read 'the selfish gene'. Do you have any opinion on the book?
He’s either referring to the controversy around him from January 2019 (google it you’ll see what I’m talking about) or...he may just be referring to the way he is in general.

Enjoyed the lecture! I’ve always loved learning about genetics and went to school for biotechnology. Still love hearing lectures about genetics.
Outstanding presentation, thank you. Looking forward to more genetic education.
Omg! Just found your channel. Thanks for making your lectures free.

@@thomasmennella5501 thanks a lot. Excellent lectures sir. They helped me and helping me to understand genetics and cell biology
This is one of the best biology lectures I have ever watch and listen without feel of any boredom. Thank you really.
Infact every positive expression from my heart in terms of appreciation is going right to you.Havenly called Lecturer 🌟⭐💯
You are an amazing teacher with a great passion for teaching and disseminating the knowledge across the world. May the blessing be with you and your loved ones!!! Prof. May I know if you have uploaded these slides on a website or what text book you recommend. Stay safe and blessed!
Beautiful class! Thrilled me in some moments.
Do u know what is the name of the textbook he is referring to ?
Could you link to the notes for the class?
How about you take notes while you watch
Happened upon your video while surfing UA-cam; such a good lecture-I look forward to the others.
Hi Scotty. I’m so glad you enjoyed this lecture. Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you so much for these great lectures. Your lectures are the only lectures that I found interesting and educational. I greatly appreciate you.
Great... Great... Great...Great...Great.....Great....Great....Great....Great...Great...Great...Great Lecture.
Thank you Sir for the amazing introduction.
An watching this vedio after 4yrs thank you for the class
The session was quite encouraging sir .My question is "Does the proteins synthesized in different organisms act/work differently or not ? Do they play same role in all organism?"
Thank you very much for the amazing lecture. The video deserves way large number of views,
MILLIONS!
very good

Thank you so much for this. My lecturer doesn't teach cause of covid and the notes are too summarized to understand. I really appreciate these
Thank you so much!!!! You're out here saving lives. lol
Bro he said 48 chromosomes in cells 💀 😂

Thank you so much , your lecture was so much fun and informative :D
Started watching your lectures, thank you, they are very helpful!
I am glad I found you! Where do you teach these courses?
Bro that's good thanks
Genetics simplified and explained. Thank you 👊🇺🇬
That’s my goal, Kayongo. Simple and explained. Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you so much for your lecture Mr. Mennella. I am going to take a course in general genetics this Fall, and this lecture video helps a bunch. I look forward in learning genetics through the rest of your video.
@@thomasmennella5501 It will help Mr. Mennella. Thank you very much for taking the time to provide these online lectures.

Thank you MY LORD !!!!!
amazing teacher, thank you so much
Which text book are you referencing your lecture from?
@@thomasmennella5501 which edition are you using?
5 years from being old enough to go to college, and i just don't understand why everyone says lectures are boring
great lecture, really educative
Hi Tom!! What textbook are you using for this lectures?
@@thomasmennella5501 which edition?
thank you so much for your lectures. it is very good for my students . Thank you again .
Do you discuss Genomics?
Thank you so much for this Thomas....
Do you ever talk about eugenics or does the ju at the universities watch you to closely
Thank you alotttt! wanna ask what is the molecule that controls directly the biochemical processes of the cells? is it the DNA or protein??
protein is the machine of the cell, they control all processes but proteins are made from DNA (Central Dogma of molecular biology)
Hello, what textbook is this based on? Thankyou for making your videos, Ive been watching your biochemestry and cellbiology courses, it helps a lot!
Hi. Thanks for your kind words. This course is based on Genetics: A Conceptual Approach by Ben Pierce
Thank you so much, this really helps me. I like the way you explain things. 🌸
very well presented
Thank you, K Town. Much appreciated!
the first genome was sequenced by Fred Sanger in the 1970s
thank you so much!!!!
Upsetting that you did not explain the importance of Rosalind Franklin : (
What text book do you use?
Which textbook are you citing in this?
This is Ben Pierce’s “Genetics - a Conceptual Approach”
Bro u got my subscription 🙏great work
What’s the textbook? I am an engineering and am trying to learn genetics in a very short period of time for… reasons.😅
Hi Luke. No problem. For this course the text is Ben Pierce’s Genetics: a Conceptual Approach
@@thomasmennella5501Thank you, sir. You are a great man.
I love this 🤣
Thanks for the video.
Thanks prof.
FRANKLIN, Watson and Crick. Make sure you are teaching the facts.
So true! And the right order of credit (actually, perhaps then it should be Franklin, Crick and Watson in order of importance). Thanks so much for the rightly deserved shout out!
is this college level genetics? Trying to look for more practice problems
Hi, can anyone kindly tell me which book to follow while learning this course!?
Hi Shuan - this course is based on Ben Pierce’s Genetics: A Conceptual Approach. Thanks for your interest in my videos!
@@thomasmennella5501 oh thank you so muchh for taking the time to reply!! These lecture series are amazing!! And you're super! Keep posting!! I really appreciate your work!!
@thomasmennella5501 Sir what is the name of the Textbook ?
This course is built on Ben Pierce’s Genetics: a Conceptual Approach
Thanku sir...if it's possible to share a link from where we can obtained this notes..
It's really necessary needed Lec...
@@thomasmennella5501 sir pls recommend text book name,
Or share pdf link of this book
Watson and Crick stole Franklin's research.

17:25 aha bit of a Freudian slip there I think
This video makes my professor lazy.
She just let us watch it and right after, she'll give us activity w/o elaborating the course.
May I ask which textbook you are using?
@@thomasmennella5501 which edition? We’re using the same book
@@jocardenas6717 Yes. Which book?
Genetics please be easy
It can be, Serve. Focus on comprehension (understanding) instead of memorization and it won’t only be easy, it’ll also be fun. Best of luck!
What level of education are these lectures? (I love them btw!)

You said 48 chromosomes btw, But its written 46 tho
You said 48 chromosomes in man, I thought it was 46
