When you can’t just get up and move away from danger, you better have a good back up plan to survive. That, and as long as you are not using an organ that is not highly sensitive to DNA conditions like polyploidy (neural system for example), having as many copies of a chromosome as you can is not a bad thing.

Its crazy the amount of alteration thats happened to corn over the course of human intervention. I think with more direct and meaningful alteration using crispr (or other method) we could make foods more nutritional and healthier to eat and not just sweeter saltier and fattier. Apples are getting crazy in recent years more and more varieties popping up.

@@Goldengirl48 I don’t think that’s gonna be an issue given that seedless watermelons are sterile so the only way to get more of them is to crossbreed watermelons that have seeds and can reproduce normally
@@kirstenlopez Actually, it's proven that species that humans use make their wild ancestors endangered if not extinct. The wild ones become rare--wolves, goldfish, bananas, you name it. Also, let a scientist try to make a targeted genetic modification and see the uproar. But people breed genetic mutants manually and it doesn't generate opposition.
@@kirstenlopez Yes, in nature, if they can't reproduce, they're not considered to be a healthy specimen. Makes me wonder about nutritional/healthy value of it.
To sequence the chromosomes of a cell or a bunch of cells you need to split it in small chunks, sequence _them_ and then try to join the pieces in a computer (genearally using a known genome sequence from the species or some close one as a template). Reconstructing the two separate copies of each chromosome, even if they have mostly small differences between them, is fairly straightforward. But with 4 or more it becomes a really messy job
This brought back memories my years of research on strawberries during my time at university and Ag Extension. Thank you for spreading the word about the science of these whacky psuedofruit!
SciShow: "Why do strawberries have eight copies of their genes?" Me, who has never heard of this before in my life: "Why DO strawberries have eight copies of their genes?!?!!?!?"
Huh. Is that why there's always one huge, weird, mutant strawberry in each basket I get that looks like a broken nose on one side and a butt with 3 cheeks on the other?
lol this is the first SciShow video I've ever watched where I didn't actually learn anything. Working in the strawberry production and breeding industry has that effect! Super cool to watch and listen to SciShow talk about the neat genetics of plants!
Hey I am a green biotechnologist and I have written my thesis on genotyping the strawberry genome. As said in the video the fragaria x ananassa (common strawberry) is descended from the F. Chiloensis and F. Virginia, this was discovered in a botanical garden in france. These species also have some common ancestors and the current theory is that the strawberry migrated from asia to America and went from 2n to 3n then 3n to 6n and 6n to 8n. The 2>3 step was within one species then two 3n species mated without reducing their chromosome count forming a 6n and lastly e 2n mated with the 6n without reducing. It seems that the strawberry has a naturally high rate of not reducing their genome. It was really difficult to distinguish between the chromosomes using standard genotyping methods. Lots of fals negatives and due to a NDA I can't disclose much but a exciting development is coming from Dreden Germany which allows breeders to accurately and cost efficient look into the genome of the strawberry. And I made the first steps in it's development 😄.
I'm also a biotechnologist working with strawberry! I remembered a short nice article in News & Views on Nature Genetics when I read your post. I hope your research goes well!
3:08 It's like turning the spare bedroom into an office .. over time, this could lead to a new species .. Wait .. what? I don't know what you're doing in your new office/old spare bedroom space but ..
oh, one SMALL correction - regarding "seedless" watermelons... MOST of those found in stores in the USA are actually just a (bred) variety that sweetens very early; before (most) seeds have formed. Anyone that buys one can tell you, most "seedless" watermelons in the USA do have some seeds (and you will note almost all are white and immature).
4:50 Hearing that Strawberries are a hybrid of an OCTOPOOID SPECIES. My brain gasps, my arms goes up in benediction and i cry "Fhtagn R'lyeh!" 🐙 Edit: Yes, i know there was a missing L. :)
But plants don't grow their leaves just anywhere at random. Different kinds of plants have arrangements, some may be alternate, some oppositely spaced, some grow their leaves in whorls. But none I've encountered or heard of use random placement.
I can hear the person whistling in the last few seconds of the outro audio XD. I'm guessing someone just whistled while recording and you guys were like screw it we'll keep it.
Okay so it's been years since my plant physiology class but if I'm remembering correctly the prevalence of polyploidy in food crops isn't really a coincidence in many cases. More DNA = bigger cells = bigger fruits. Since humans like larger crops we tend to breed the plants that produce the largest fruit, resulting in more polyploid fruit.
I think cultivated plants probably can grow "a leaf here, and another leaf here..." (not exact qotation). And most of the wild ones will grow bigger according to the space/soil they have at their disposal.
I was going to ask the same question. In Sweden the wild (small) strawberries are called Smultron. They have a very different smell and taste than normal cultivated strawberries. But I grow a variety that is a hybrid. A crossing between garden strawberry and “smultron” (diploid) “Rebecca = Fragaria × vescana is a hybrid strawberry cultivar that was created in an effort to combine the best traits of the garden strawberry, which has large berries and vigorous plants, with the woodland strawberry, which has an exquisite flavour, but small berries. This cross cannot take place naturally.”(Wikipedia). The berries are not very big, approximately 1 inch. You can harvest as long as there is no frost. I actually still get some berries ( Stockholm area)
@@briannaberlin6851 it’s only a few minutes to save like $90. I think you’d have to be a C-level exec to make more money in 2-3 minutes. That’s like $1800/hour. Worth the effort to me.
Aren’t fruit of polyploid plants usually larger than those of diploid? Fragaria vesca, the European wild strawberry, has small fruit and is diploid. The American wild strawberry, F. virginiana, is octoploid like garden strawberries but is still smaller-fruited, though, so I might be over-generalizing.
In Swedish we have "Smultron" (wild Strawberries) and "Jordgubbar" (Strawberries). I just thought they bred the "smultron" variant and by doing so made the 8 chromosome variant "Jordgubbe". "Smultron" seems similiar but also very different from "Jordgubbar". I think most organisms with multiple copies in general are larger than their counterparts with single (or "2n" copies). At least that´s what I remeber from school (and going to a garden back then with a tree that was "4n")
This episode sponsored by Hank frustratedly chopping his own basil or something. I'd love to see a corner cam of him doing that throughout the entire video, just chopping up one enormous pile of herbs.
Polyploids have been selected even before we knew what they were genetically. One of the common effects of polyploidy is that plants get bigger flowers and fruits, and their leaves get bigger and become darker green. All of these are desirable traits for ornamentals and food plants, so people have selected these for ages. As they mention in the video, having spare sets of chromosomes makes plants less likely to show recessive genetic traits. This is an advantage if a plant lives in an environment where it is vital not to change too fast. For a plant in a cold region it would be a disaster if it lost its winterhardiness in a period of milder winters. So in polar regions you can find more polyploid and vegetatively reproducing plant species than in tropical regions.
I’ve used Hello Fresh before. The meals are good, and the ingredients are (usually) good quality. However, I found the prep and cook times to be longer than what he recipes said, and some meals produce a lot of dirty dishes. I also have anxiety and very little motivation, so most nights it’s a sandwich for dinner. The recipes are written for the prepackaged quantities, too. I wish they’d include the amounts of each ingredient so I could more easily make meals later on for larger groups of people.
In times of disasters and mass extinctions space, solar, earth radiation changes, Earth's magnetic field weakens. Which might increase possibilities for gene mutations. Does anyone know?
I'm pretty sure the majority of the polyploidy found in strawberries was induced to increase yield via use of mutagens such as UV light and colchicine.
Okay when I began watching this video, only one thought entered my mind. How many of you also had the same thought? "Hank 's a lumberjack, and he's ok. He works all night and he sleeps all day." ;)
Monsanto: here good sir, have this delicious mango, it's been genetically modified so it's better than what nature can produce. Strawberries: hold my chromosomes.
Lol, a reupload, not sure what's the difference. Edit: I think I know... the Hello Fresh sponsor talk at the end seems different to be honest, but with my bad memory who knows I might be wrong. If not and others noticed that too, let me know.
So a strawberry's DNA is wrapped in on itself before we read it's entirity, and a method is used to unravel specific portions to reveal specific segments to express...so if we could discover a pattern to how the system chooses to express, couldn't we eliminate 7 sets of data that would have needed to be sorted through? I know it's not as easy a skipping 7 each time, but there is definitely a method to the madness we aren't utilizing yet.
A cell that’s preparing to divide makes a copy of each of its chromosomes so that each daughter cell gets one copy. So after this replication process, the cell temporarily has double its genome and when it divides, each daughter cell goes back to having the usual number of chromosomes
@@kirstenlopez Yes but I don't thinks that's what the graphic is showing. It seems to be showing 8 pairs of the same chromosome when it should show 4 pairs of the same chromosome. 4 pairs x 7 different chromosomes = 56 chromosomes in each strawberry cell. This is the channel that had the lunar "lander" module taking off on its title card for years.
Is polyploidism a way to avoid cancer? Plants can't move around so they might get exposed to excess sunlight. Is this a way to bypass harmful mutations?
So would the copying of chromosomes lead or associate with the age of the species Like how old the strawberry lineage is Or does it show that even pairs of chromosomes or copies of them lead to stabile life
This is why if you want to extract DNA with your kids most instructions recommend using strawberries. You could extract DNA from your own spit but there will be a lot less and possibly even difficult to see. With strawberries there is a big glob of DNA floating around when you are done.
