The part about the mutated DNA is insane. During the process of evolution, some of these plants basically repurposed and readjusted their basic plant tool-kit for a drastically different purpose. The fundamental working remains similar, clearly establishing a link to the original version, yet the execution and result are completely new.

What I find most interesting of all of this is how the underlying mechanisms for carnivory are rooted-pun intended-in the genomes of many plants, since they're usually used for defense against pathogens and herbivorous insects. With how common knowledge carnivorous plants are, it really surprises me that they aren't used as examples of how evolution works with what it has. Also, makes one realise how plants are very much alive and "aware" of the world surrounding them

NC resident here- a lot of people don't realize how fascinating the flora of the Carolinas is! It's considered a sub tropical climate, very warm with lots of rain and varied levels of tree cover. The Appalachian mountains are home to some microclimates due to unique conditions in a small area, making the shale Barrens of the blue smokies home to the Eastern prickly pear cactus. Not to mention we have a very similar climate to eastern Asian countries like China and Japan, so a lot of plants native to that area grow here- Nice for willow trees, and interesting with the bamboo, but a cause for concern now that kudzu has begun to swallow the entire southeast of America. There are so many interesting plants in these states, I love learning about them!

They all have the potential but that doesn't mean that the same evolutionary pressures will push them all in the same direction.

The aquatic waterwheel plant is actually a snap trap too, one of only 2 in the world including the Venus flytrap. The bladderwort is a suction trap though.

The mutation of duplicated genes increases the size of the state space available for evolution. Simple mutation, without duplication won’t get as far as fast. Exceptional presentation!

What I question is how did the plant know these bugs were out in the world and contained the nutrients they needed? It’s like they figured this out and then formulated the plan to duplicate their own genes so they could “tinker” with mutations and test ways of best trapping and digesting these bugs they somehow knew existed. The part that blows my mind is not the fact they are carnivorous but how they knew these bugs existed and they could provide nutrients for them 🤯

Because they are set in their viewpoint and don’t want to believe anything else than the creation story they’ve been taught. I think because it’s nice and easy to understand, of course they’re wrong.

@@molag-ballordofdomination2065 neither do I. I guess they do take the creation story literal, luckily most religious people try to combine their faith with scientifically established facts and theories. In some countries like mine their is also a growing segment of the population who are non religious. Right now more than half (54%) of the people in the Netherlands are either atheist or agnostic.

A not insignificant number of the ones that post in comment sections are just griefers or contrarians doing it out of some mental issue they have where they need to get the negative attention. It's basically the unlikable kids in class demanding to be old at so they get some internal itch scratched that they don't get scratched at home.

Thank you for this! Charles Darwin’s greatest discovery ,evolution, often leads people today to think that was his only contribution. But Darwin was a great and thorough scientists whose keen observations led to discoveries that would have made the careers of lesser men. The detailed discussion you provide shows the importance of understanding how things happen. I had a “pet” Venus flytrap when I was a child. I remember well the attempts to feed it little bits of meat and the excitement of the whole family when it finally caught a fly.

Darwin was a lying hack. If evolution is a thing, where's the proof? Fossil records? Genetic materials? There isn't any. Our history of creation is in the holy Bible. It can be backed up by secular history, & science. Humans were never apes, nor Neanderthals. God is a loving God, not cruel. God bless & may Jesus make himself real to you. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth & the life. No one comes to the Father, but by Me." John 14:6

What a brilliant video, David Attenborough, eat your heart out! I wonder if you were to grow a VFT in soil with a good supply of Nitrogen but didn't let it catch insects, would it be able to survive or would it die? I really enjoyed this, and found the whole thing about how the traps worked totally amazing, well done you! 👍
