    I think I learned more about genetics here than all my years of Science in school! This truly helps me get over the 'Learning Curve'

    @8:05 Small correction. Not all workers in the hive have the same father. The queen usually mates with several (3-10) males, and her daughters can sometimes even look different, depending on who's their daddy, if they were different breeds. They of course don't care about their look, but a beekeeper can tell the difference.

      Yes you're quite correct. I just didn't want to confuse the issue.

    While Learning Curve lacks the spectacle or voice talent of channels with budget, like crash course, real science etc. their take on complex topics is absolutely admirable!

      Thank you very much. Learning Curve is just me, I research, write, narrate, animate and edit everything myself, which is probably why it looks a bit amateurish, but I'm absolutely fine with that. I like being a 1 man show.

    So theoretically we could alter the genes in our skin so that we sweat insulin? Imagine getting that done and having a job where you just do sick workouts in a lab and sweat in a big bucket for money.

      Bacteria do that far better, more sterile and much cheaper
      And if we were able to change gene expression in living and mature human cells, then it'd be easier to allow patients suffering from diabetes to produce their own insulin

      @LearningCurveScience  2 роки тому +7

      Yes absolutely. They are currently working on gene therapies for people who suffer from type 1 diabetes. They would get other cell to produce the insulin instead of the damaged pancreas cells.

    • @milobem4458
      @milobem4458 2 роки тому +4

      sweat seems a bit wasteful. It's hard to control or collect. Better would be activating mammary glands to produce insulin.

    When I look at open brood I do not see bee bread , fermented pollen , ever.
    What happened to the idea that queens and workers are fed the same 'royal jelly' , a mixture of substances from the hypopharengeal gland and mandibular gland , for 2-3 days , then fed with differing proportions , depending on caste , for the remainder of feeding ? Also , is bee bread not just pollen that has been preserved when not immediately used?

    now this is a good channel for parents out there who want to supplement their child's education - pick a video to watch together and when it's finished, ask your kid to explain it - just one video a night and you can both learn something interesting as well as your child getting practice at absorbing, processing and deseminating information, thinking critically and speaking confidently.
    you can then enjoy some satisfying role-reversal by repeatedly asking them: why? everytime they try to tell you something!
    also, when they inevitably ask why you always get to choose the video, you can teach them a little discipline and respect for authority by telling them that you're the parent and they're the child but sweeten that hard-to-swallow pill by suggesting they can pick the next video if they like and then boom! - you've just provided your kids with an hour's home-learning that you can look good telling all the other parents about at the school gates tomorrow.😏😉😃

    fantastic metaphors for teaching basic cell biology to children
    the transcription factors associate due to complementary surfaces optimizing intermolecular forces and they associate with the polymerase through the same mechanism. the methylation of the histone tails, not the nucleic acid, is what attracts the dna condensing enzymes which wind the chromatin tightly. alternatively, the histone tails can be acylated which attracts dna decondensing enzymes, unwinding the chromatin exposing the promoter regions to binding by the transcription factors. there were a few other minor errors, but overall your mental model of the system is developing well
