Alleles and Genes
Join the Amoeba Sisters as they discuss the terms "gene" and "allele" in context of a gene involved in PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) taste sensitivity. Note: as mentioned throughout video, the ability to taste PTC may be more complex than a single gene trait. This video serves as an introduction before exploring Punnett squares in our heredity series: • Asexual and Sexual Rep...
This video has a handout! www.amoebasiste...
While this video only focuses on basic understanding of alleles and genes as well as the ability to taste- or not taste- PTC (phenylthiocarbamide), we encourage learning more! Here is a recommended reading that expands on the genetics involved in tasting PTC and includes some of the history in how it was discovered: www.ncbi.nlm.n...

@@satviksaha1764 As another STEM major, I can tell you that many universities have professors who should be teaching doctorate-level courses teaching the basic, introduction courses to their subjects. These professors are primarily at the school to do research, and do not know how to effectively put the material into a way that a student who has not been studying the content for 6 or 7 years already will understand. This makes the classes extremely difficult for undergraduate students, particularly freshmen who are still trying to get adjusted to college. This does not devalue the professor, as no one has said they were incompetent. However, they should not be teaching classes at that level if they cannot make the material understandable for their students.

Satvik Saha that is not always the case. When it’s taught in such a complex way it becomes harder to gasp . I pay attention in my class but often times i am taken aback by the complex diagrams and the wording of explanation . These simplified videos help me grasp the bigger picture and I can look at a more complex image knowing exactly what is occurring. Sometimes it’s hard to follow along when you aren’t knowledge in that area. I have a wonderful professor but he is definitely an advanced professor even he says our book makes it more complicated than it should be .. xx my professor is amazing I cousins discredit him but to say I can follow along with the lectures become more in depth technically is a stretch these videos help just wanted to let you know that there are people who pay attention and just can’t understand effectively . That’s why different learning styles exist (:

thank you so much for your great job. I have a final exam tomorrow and your video is totally saving me. Thank you so much! You are such a life saver
It's like you're telling a story to a kindergarten kid but actually, you're explaining hereditary terms to the senior class students. It's just awesome! Thank you for such an amazing (and cute) video
This is so incredibly good. THANK YOU for using the parts that confused you (and many of us) during biology class to make *VERY* clear illustrated explanations. It's often very confusing to read about the details in a solid block of text in a textbook, but it all becomes wonderfully clear once it's drawn out and labeled bit by bit.

Helped me understand complex things in 9 - 15 minutes, when my teacher lectures us all day (knowing that no one listens) and tests us on unfair crap we don't know. Thank you for everything, please keep this up for future students.
2 months of pure confusion in bio class and this video clarified everything beautifully. actually life saving
When you look in the comments to find an answer to a question your teacher gave you ;-;

I absolutely love this page. I used it for college intro to biology, I read my textbook then watch these videos just to make sure I understand and it's so helpful.
The easiest explanation for dominant/recessive genes I've ever encountered. Thank you for making this video! It has been such a helpful tool to use for my anthropology course
I was literally so lost in biology. I needed this.
I don't have any words for your appreciation!!!The way you teach is mind blowing ...
Amoeba sisters, You guys are the besttttt ❤️❤️, thanks a very lot for such knowledgeable fun learning animated videos . Being a univ student , I feel like that's the way I want to learn and imagine science!!!! Cute efforts seriously 💟💟👏👏
I freaking love the animation 😂😂 2:43 when she said my whole genetic code the sign said human not amoeba 😂🤣
and here i am,going through every single one of your videos for my biology competitions. i truly love you guys
Thank you soo much mam.... actually after watching this video......i was able to understand what these stuff are............ before this in my entire life no one told with this much of clarity......thank you mam once again . Lots of love from india🇮🇳
Using this to study for my Anth-130 exam, your energy makes this so much more enjoyable!!!
My teacher shows you every day and your drawings and the simplification you put into it makes every thing easier
Oh my gosh! I had to stop the video and re-evaluate my childhood. You have the same exact PTC horror story as me! I felt so out of place, like I was missing out on an opportunity. LOL one classmate tried to cheer me up by also telling me i should be happy I can't taste it even trying to describe the taste to me, but i didn't feel any better either.
At last I understood what's allele from this video.Thanks a lot you have helped me a lot
I watch a 8 minute video and finally understand, after almost a whole year. Thank you so much
Even at a graduate level, the clear articulation and careful consideration to keeping audience attention provides a refresher that sparks the more detailed memories. Many of your videos contain material that textbooks either gloss over or make far more arcane than it need be. You guys are phenomenal educators, I wish I could give you a hug.
This is perfect timing indeed, because I have a test tm (8th gr) on this unit, so instead of ONLY using my notes as a study guide, I am watching these amazing videos that really break down info efficiently.
MAn your videos are much better to listen than the lectures we get in class. HATS OFF TO AMOEBA SISTERS.
i had wasted a lot of my time searching for this..........Thank god i found this channel.
Best video ever I tried 5 more videos but none of the could make my concept crystal clear...thanks a lot to your video....it just changed my gene pattern for ever 😁❤️❤️❤️❤️ may god bless u ma'am...I understood it very well....❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Everyone's like "I was assigned this" but hey... this girl is racking up the views tbh
This channel always shows very fantastic a animations. It's really very helpful for one to understand these depictions with very short period of time. Thank you so much Amoeba sisters. ❤️
Your videos are the best I could recommend them to anyone
These are sooo helpful!! I’m watching your series abt hereditary right now, and it is honestly making all of the stuff I’m learning in class seem so much easier to understand. Thanks for creating these simplified videos to help students like me! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very simply explained. Very useful in uni when professors explain things to complex and detailed that we forget the big picture and can't connect main ideas together!

Thank you I'm in second year of university and could not get the visual wrap around my head this helped alot!

Thanks for making these. They are super helpful for recapping what I've learned and helped me understand things a bit better. Great for test prep and answering my questions I have.

Wow......after all these years... I m finally getting the hang of it!
thank you so much for this video mam. it really helps me in understanding the concept of genes and alleles .

About the trait that you either or not able to tast the TPC make me think about the smell of durian. Some people (usually Asians, largely Vietnamese) say durians smell very good (it doesn't smell like caramel but imagine how good is the smell of caramel, or popcorns). While the large proportion of the world describe durian smell like socks of gymmer 🤢. Me for example, durian is the most fragant fruit. I wanna try once how the bad smell the people of another group experience, exactly like you wanna know how bitter/bad is the taste of TPC paper
I am learning genetics right now and this is so helpful! I love your videos they are so fun to watch and really help me a lot!
Hi Amoeba Sisters! I am a grade 9 student, and I find you videos sooo helpful! My teacher assigned us some (Which i watched) but I also watched some extra ones (even if they aren't my curriculum) because they so interesting! I have ADHD and I really love when there are fun colours and pictures involved with learning and your videos capture it all! Right now my grade is in the Reproduction unit and I am wondering if you would ever do a video on eye alleles and how the colour work. (since there are people with two eye colorus and so much more!) eyes are really confusing and I want to learn more about them. Thanks again :)
I love your drawings they are really really cute and your explanation is soooooo perfect 😍😍😘😘😘
