What is epigenetics? - Carlos Guerrero-Bosagna 

no

no

yes

i didn't find it simplified AT ALL.. too wordy. I had to look at another video for clarification

THIS VERSION SUCKS.. THIS VERSION WAS WAYYYYYYYY BETTER ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g12kIu9jrIk.html

@Olivia Pierce same, and i'm so confused

genetics is itneresting but epigenetiics is even more so

this is extra credit for my normal biology class😂

+AmracX Best comment I've read today

+AmracX I can't like it through my phone, but consider it done, ok?

I believe it's a theory

I can hit a like on my phone if i touch the screen for 2 seconds :)

The scientific method. A person works really hard for many years to learn as much as they can about their particular topic, in this case genetics. Then they pick an area of research that appeals to them, say, epigenetics, if they think they can help advance an area where our knowledge is sketchy, then they find funding and create a statement like 'eating healthily can slow a certain cancer growth in humans due to turning a certain gene on', they make their own prediction as to the outcome, then test it using either tried and tested methods or new ones. Then they analyse and present their findings. These results are then tested by other scientists for validation, the more scientists who's results match, the more sure we are in the results. And that's science.

Seems like you lost the genetic lottery x)

@@DCBfanboy but we had the same ticket!

@@fienevandijk7224 yeah lmao the price was shared between you two but your twin took all of it :o

@@DCBfanboy unfortunately very true. I'm too kind, really ':)

@@fienevandijk7224 yes, you are!

Heritable

Wrong. Epi- means protein expression in organisms caused by modification of gene expression from outside effectors rather than owing to the genetic code itself.

@Austin Wilson "Epi" means on top of. In short, epigenetics is the study of how the environment influences gene expression. No need to complicate it any further than that.

You don't know how much I need this my guy

Concise, great word choices!

Science is going to get rewritten

Yesss uhhh biology 😅

here ✋

Yep haha

POV: You're watching for mental illness

nope

Facts just gotta stay positive. I also know forcing a smile will make you feel a little better too. Dont forget to smile folks and if someones being a stick in the mud maybe they just need a smile too. :)

I'm doing A level biology and epigenetics has just been put in our new course.

bjjio

hello i’m from 7th hour 😢illinois 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

And while we're at it, Baldwin effect

Great idea

I like that tho also hia fter four years

@@Mark-Wilson Hi :) It's funny how someone replies to my comment and now I see it again and can't remember ever writing this comment

I used to think nuture is something you can always control but Nature is something you can’t but it wasn’t always the case. Sometimes you can’t control your environment and sometimes you can prevent genetic diseases from effecting you despite having the genes

...and also hope that mum doesn't abort him or her. Otherwise, it's 'end of the epigenetic story' for that little one!

Lit

This comment is just proof that meme magic exists. Certainly a amazing breakthrough in the social decline of civilization.

SHIIIIIIII AC4 AY

No, the environment we live in dictates if a mutation is beneficial or not. And if so, there is a bigger chance of that change surviving by being passed on to offspring. And there is some anecdotal evidence that epigenetics might make it more likely that some traits that are expressed more might get preferential treatment when they pass on to offspring.

sexual selection also plays a part

Serah Wint I've always found hard to understand how evolution could work so well only though random mutations, like for example how some gorillas subspecies feet become more human like after only a couple thousand years having a less arboreal lives. I guess epigenetics have something to do with it.

enzobg2011 Probably yea. Another example are Europeans that changed skin pigmentation under just a few thousand years. That's probably a clear example of epigenetics at work.

Epigenetics isn't evolution. Epigenetics is genetic expression of your genes controlled by altering cellular physiology. Epigenetics doesn't change the gene pool of your gametes.

No these are very entertaining.

Ahhh, the Beast's comment

Why are some genes inhibited and others not?

Except the top ones??

None of the comments except all of them , right?

Sometimes, RU-vid comments don't show up or load. Just refresh the page.

Evolution has never been proven. It has, though been disproven through the 2nd law of thermodynamics, irreducible complexity, etc. A more accurate term would be.....ADAPTATION .

But it does not support the neo-Darwinian theory of random, accidental mutations as the source of all adaptation.

​@@barbaraeastburn6848 Thanks for your input, Barbara. Much appreciated.

"Step into this genetic memory machine to discover that your ancestors.. ate unhealthily but did parkour exercise?"

LowestoftheDead was just meant as a joke, man

actually its not a joke i believe some time in the future we may able to do that

www.scientificamerican.com/article/descendants-of-holocaust-survivors-have-altered-stress-hormones/ quote:Yet it is still too early in our investigation into the epigenetics of this complex stress-response system to know for sure whether these molecular changes indicate any real-world risks or benefits. “If you are looking for it all to be logical and fall into place perfectly, it isn't going to yet,” Yehuda says. “We are just at the beginning of understanding this.

Thanks stephen! I'll dig into that Scientific American article, this is GOLD. I've always suspected this and one other...Do you know anything about social groups producing a constant ratio of conservative and liberal personality types?

That's ego for you. :P

Well you've got inner reflection going for you, so you're ahead of the game :)

And also, teach your peers the same. Knowledge is to be shared.and celebrated.

Not tryna be rude but I feel like less intelligent people tend to do this. This is because more intelligent people normally know things others know and so they don't really feel superior when they know something someone else doesn't lol

Did you forgive your past already Farhan?

Rosita Megchelenbrink what do you mean?

This guy be pull all da hoes

Im also Blasian!!!!

My shigga

+Chase Pennington The "dark" side

wut he said ^^^^^

+justin bouche :) ;)

Probably not

You're gonna be at a high risk of heart disease and cancer but your kids won't be affected

It could if your meat eating lead to alteration within the meiotic development of your gametes

I.e. - gaining mutations or having an abundance of recombinant DNA within your gametes.

To be fair, we don't know that yet. But we have to act on the information we have and not what could be.

I agree

Probably not, since aren't sins removed once the correct criteria are met? But your DNA stays the same.

I remember that! But was that in the Old testament? Cuz if it is then it would only remain true now if your sins and generational chains weren't broken or forgiven...which would only come from not repenting since through Jesus there is forgiveness of all sins right?

+DeoMachina When the Bible talks about sins being removed, it is talking about a person's relationship with God. That God doesn't hold their sin against them. But the physical consequences of sins can still remain.

Apledore I could be wrong but I don't think the whole "relationship with a diety" thing is in the bible, I thought that was a new-fangled ideal?

+DeoMachina Read John 14 or Jeremiah 29:11. And that's just what immediately popped into my head. The idea of a relationship with God is not only in the Bible, it's the central focus.

facepalm xD

+Brent M That is false und you should watch even more biology videos. Nonetheless Ted-Ed is a good start and you should continue inform yourself about this topic.

the majority of GMO is harmless. in fact I'd be happy saying that almost all of it is. if you look at the vigorous testing things go through there is very little wrong with GMO. the majority of them implement genes which code for proteins. these are broken down in the stomach anyway and so will cause very little damage to a human. for instance golden rice is GM rice that has a gene that code for a protein that causes increase in vitamin A uptake. however when this rice is eaten, it doesn't suddenly cause the person who ate it to develop an extremely high vitamin A concentration in their blood and tissue. have a look at some of the stuff that GM is used for and it might change your mind. the vast majority is very helpful for humans as you can get a lot of nutrition out of a small amount of food. GM Tabasco plants were instalments in the production of an Ebola virus. there is a lot of use for GM crops

are you high?

***** cant tell if troll or just stupid lol
