    To remember complementary bases, think of the letters made of straight lines (A-T) and curved lines separately (C-G).

    You have no idea how incredibly helpful your videos are. I’ve gone from double award science to triple science for a level and needed to understand the triple science DNA from GCSE. I watched this video and made loads of note which allowed me to understand this within an hour. Thank you so so much. 😊

    I personally loved the way of your teaching. You stated everything very clearly and repeated no sentences. On UA-cam where good people like you who instead of wasting younsters time are sharing knowledge and saving their lives have less subscribers while on the other hand people who make useless content have so many views and subscribers.
    We think that those people are a source of entertainment while they are just earning by ruining our time. I hope that people get aware of what they are doing.

    i walk a lonely road
    The only one that I have ever known
    Don't know where it goes
    But it's home to me, and I walk alone
    I walk this empty street
    On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
    Where the city sleeps
    And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
    I walk alone, I walk alone
    I walk alone, I walk a-
    My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
    My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
    Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me
    'Til then, I walk alone
    Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
    Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
    I'm walking down the line
    That divides me somewhere in my mind
    On the borderline
    Of the edge, and where I walk alone

    A BIG THANK YOU! Now I understand what is going ON. Unfortunately I always studied physics and any kind of electronic system and always fended off the biological studies. Now I realise that if there are four unique nucleotides symbolized as A, G, C, and T, which stand for the four bases-adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine and next the many combinations that follow - I can compare this to binary logic and how, whichever super processoror you may have, is simply and always working with a zero (of) or one (one meaning 5 volts in the case of a computer) and the various ways of using this 0 or 1 logic achieves all that we see being achieved by computers today. So as I understand it, this is Biological Logic. Hence I think that digital logic has distracted mankind for many many years. Just imagine what can be achieved if all people developing digital logic were to change to probing into biology more deeply to explore and undersand the complex operating system and method of operation of human biological logic. Let us face it. If it is as straight foward as this, we are most definiley biologically programmed from begining to end.
