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.amoebasisters.com/handouts
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.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
The Amoeba Sisters videos demystify science with humor and relevance. The videos center on Pinky's certification and experience in teaching biology at the high school level. For more information about The Amoeba Sisters, visit:

@@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.

@countlessmelanin8650 4 жыл бұрын

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 (:
