This is How Your Body Makes New Cells
Ғылым және технология
If we want to become a functioning human being, we need to have cells grow and replicate. In the final episode of this Human season, Patrick will explain the cell cycle and why we aren't just clones of our parents.

Nearly every cell in our bodies has roughly six billion base pairs. As our cells continue to grow and replicate our DNA copies its genetic data into the new cells, and while the occasional copying error happens, it only happens about one in ten thousand base pairs.
That’s pretty impressive, right?
On top of that our bodies have checkpoints in place to make sure the errors that do occur get tossed out so they don’t harm us.
DNA is massive and complex, and in today’s Human, Patrick discusses how the cell grows and replicates. We’ll explore the purpose of cell division, the role chromosomes play, and so much more.

Mitosis versus meiosis
www.yourgenome.org/facts/mito...
“Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. Below we highlight the keys differences and similarities between the two types of cell division.”
Chromosomes
www.nature.com/scitable/topic...
“Packaging is the reason why the approximately two meters of human DNA can fit into a cell that is only a few micrometers wide. But how, exactly, is DNA compacted to fit within eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells? And what mechanisms do cells use to access this highly compacted genetic material?”
Replication and Distribution of DNA during Mitosis
www.nature.com/scitable/topic...
“Most cells grow, perform the activities needed to survive, and divide to create new cells. These basic processes, known collectively as the cell cycle, are repeated throughout the life of a cell.”

Thank you Seeker for another great series, loving all of your content at the moment! :D This series has a good balance of key information and simplicity. Hopefully, there's a second one!?
Hi seeker Another interesting video.. Learned a lot.. Great season.. Hope another season comes soon.. Thanks patrick and seeker team..🙏👍
Voting for another installment of this series. All the videos were great, to say the least. Learned so much. So much resourceful information compiled in each episode. Loved the presentation and narration; interesting writing. Commend the use of graphics/photos, short clips and all the visual aid; just marvellous, superb. Always wondered why things were not taught like this in colleges using these visual aids. Please accept my warmest gratitude, can't thank you all enough. I am extremely grateful to Dr Patrick too. I sincerely wish you were my professor.
Something i never knew i wanted to learn, and now i want to know about it
Wish I would have had your excellent series when I was teaching biology in high school. You give very clear explanations that a teacher can build on to make biology much more interesting. Keep up the excellent work that you do.
super interesting. thank you for the graphics and thorough explanation.
I like the way Seeker teaches! This is a great channel and please make more episodes!
I learn more from seeker than I learn at school
This research should be funded and should be made more popular

This is amazing! I cannot believe that some people think this is a result of randomness! complex design points to an intelligent designer.
I hope there is a season two!
Laws create order Order create structure Structure create functionality Functionality create purpose Purpose create motivation
I’ve always known the steps of mitosis but I never knew the driving forces for the process. Its strange that a very precise and organized process which takes a lot of energy is occurring all the time in our bodies
Hopefully we get another season. Seeker human was really good
Better biology class than school... Thanks👍
I'm always baffled about how a single cell can execute these rather complex steps. It almost looks like there is some "intelligence" in the cell that orchestrates other components on what they should do. Sometimes I picture the interior of a cell as the only (really) living being and us humans just a huge collection of inhabitants - like a city is alive with all the people in it.

Natural processes can give the illusion of "orchestrated intelligence", but remember you are looking at the final result of each step of the process going through trial and error over millions of years. So once you see the big picture of all the steps working as one complete process it can be interpreted as looking "complex". For example, polymer chains (the precursors to DNA/RNA) started self replicating long before the first single celled organism appeared. Than once DNA/RNA started encapsulating itself inside a ball of proteins it had to "figure out" how to self replicate while bringing the protective proteins along with it to the new copies. Than when DNA strands got too long that they needed something to wrap itself around (chromosomes) it had to "figure out" how to replicate while bringing new chromosomes with the new copies. And so on, and so on. Each of these steps taking millions or sometimes billions of years of trial and error.

@@sti454 Suggesting that the cell its not complex and can be interpreted as "complex" is rather interesting. We still say phrases like "it had to figure out how to do something and replicate" and think that its somehow scientific. The truth is we have absolutely no idea how the first cell came to be and simply say "oh its was time and a lot of figuring out". The cell is absolutely baffling and fascinating.

What could make something so intelligent?
Is it possible for your body to clone a completely opposite type of cell that was meant to clone itself?
If plant cells doesn't have centrosomes (centrioles), then what is forming the spindle fibres that separates the homologous chromosomes during cell division?

Well, after about 50 replication replacements of itself, it is said that that is when cells really start to show their age. I dig your thinking though, and encourage you to perform some lab research as you might be the exact very same scientist someday that can make cellular breakdown a thing only read about in history books. You'd so get your own nobel prize for such a noble effort.
Another way for your body to make cells, is to use it to travel to locations to collect certain materials and then make some batteries.

It would be super groovy to be able to download an ability, and suddenly you were as good as eddy van halen on guitar. I read that someone once woke from a coma and was able to tell people what they said that they apparently heard prior to properly waking up from such a long form of sleep mode. Sleep seems generally a time when the brain uses the opportunity to defrag itself like a harddrive/swapfile sorting out the information that your accessory sensors helped to record.
It really astounds me as to how perfectly our cells replicate most of the time, until it doesn't, and you end up with cancer.

Can you build or make your own cells ,it might sound crazy but I just wanna know is it possible
The Universe is a exotic living organism that has yet to complete the first phase of its cycle the Skotophotomorphogenesis!
when the cell copies itself and assume its original cell weight something, does its weight increase?
It’s weird cells been making more of them selves since the beginning of evaluation
I'm just glad I'm a programmer
We still do not know how cells are classified and issued to grow in the uterus or “egg.” Perhaps laminins are sorta spit out in and amount of different kinds and the extra are just dissolved. Puzzle pieces from/away from the box.
Their better be a session two or I will find you lol
What you are also looking at is the evolution of camera's on smartphones
How does amount of stem cells change in the adult organism over time? If it’s decreasing, then why, what’s the mechanism? What if we artificially support their constant high amount in the body, will it fight degenerative aging processes?
Here after watching The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
S02!
histones covalent bonds? possible a x and y chromosome becomes a o(cell) chromosome or 23 different types of stem cells or a chromosome becomes a cell having 23 cells after mitosis
Now this is all good and well in the macro-view of biology but what does actually happen in the micro-view of cell-division? When I think a tad smaller than a cell and look at the carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and sodium molecules, what kind of processes happen there? Shouldn't there be much more interesting things happening? How for example does such a molecule "know" which sodium ions to "catch" with magnetic fields to create another "copy" of a cell molecule? Wouldn't that require some energy at least to form those new molecules that "catch" and bind those ions together in the same way the first cell was? There must be a ton of chemical reactions and mini-magnetic and electron-migrations going on. We must not forget that biology cannot exist without physics and chemistry.
I’m sad to see Human go, even if it’s only temporarily.
Great video but doesn’t really answer what orchestrates what each cell should become (through gene expression etc)? This is a great question and science has absolutely no answer. We probably never will since all of the internal parts of cells and their functions have been identified. There is no known part of a cell that can direct its unbelievably rapid and complex processes. Each cell in a human body produces 2,000 protein molecules per second. What could possibly direct that hyperspeed and uber-complex formation? The nucleus can be removed from a cell and the cell will continue on doing all of its functions such as taking in nutrients, converting those nutrients to usable energy, and ridding itself of waste products. Except it cannot make new proteins. Cells can live for months without their nucleus. So the nucleus isn't the director of cell function, or the "brain" of the cell. I find it amazing that biology students are taught about the functioning of cells, how proteins are formed, how cells convert nutrients into energy, etc. without addressing how all of this is controlled and directed. How do non-living molecules "know" where to go inside and outside of a cell so they can perform their functions? What makes them “swim" from one place to another, and what controls that "swim"? How does mRNA swim through tiny pores in the nuclear membrane, and then swim their way to and lock on to a ribosome, like a living snake with eyes and a brain? The fact that this is a complete unknown is never mentioned in biology texts and classes. What could be a bigger mystery? Maybe the mystery of what entity directs the formation of an infant from an ovum. It's right in front of us. We still have no idea. Or what directs all of the non-living molecules inside of cells. They run around like little geniuses, doing incredibly complex tasks. What directs them? The mysteries still left to solve are far greater than the ones science has solved. In this field, we are scientifically still babies in the woods. There has to be something immense that is right in front of our noses, but we humans cannot see it at all. I don't mean in a religious sense. But in a purely scientific sense. What directs the development of a zygote into a fully formed infant? Not DNA for certain. DNA only makes proteins. What directs all of the billions of molecules around the inside of a cell? They all act like they have eyes, a brain, and swim fins. When a cell divides, billions of molecules migrate around to just the perfect location, lock on, and new chromosomes are made. Amazingly, hundreds of thousands of nucleotides do this every second. When we have an injury, how do cells in the body know they have to rush in like an ambulance, and start clotting mechanisms, and tissue healing? What tells them where to go and what to do? The more we learn, the deeper we go, the farther away we become from really understanding how the universe and life (and some would say at the risk of sounding pseudo-scientific, consciousness) work. What an amazing puzzle. Listen to this Nobel Prize winners acceptance speech: “Nobel Lecture by Barbara McClintock E: www.nobelprize.org/mediaplayer/?id=1617 Now you know that in fact... cells DO KNOW! That's the important part. But how it knows we don't know. This idea that there is a brain and all that is just speculation. There are tons of evidence that the nucleus is the origin of a lot of activity, but there’s no evidence that it "controls" activities. Basically what we know is details about pathways and we've "labeled" which proteins signal which. But this doesn’t tell us who the "maestro " is and where he/she resides. How does all that work? How does it know? This is one of the great mysteries of life.
