So, from what I can gather, phenotype is referring to _ANY_ measurable physical difference (including biochemistry, etc.), while morphotype is referring specifically to shape, structure, and other obvious parts of outward appearance. This makes morphotype a subset of phenotype. To give examples: A black-furred jaguar would be both a morphotype and a phenotype. Having a B- blood type would be a phenotype but not a morphotype. Edit: Another way of thinking about it: If it's something that can distinguish two individuals which you can observe without genetic analysis, it's a phenotype. If it's something you can observe without harming the individual or doing anything invasive, it's also a morphotype.

The Chloroplasts being able to run themselves thing even if they arent in the cell they are an organelle of is a really fun thing. Cuz the theory is that Chloroplasts (and Mitochondria and potentially the Nucleus itself) are endosymbiosis events. So in taking a chloroplast out of a cell and into use by another organism, the chloroplast is basically just switching hosts, and even though its dependent on a host to survive and cant do so fully on its own, a not fully correct host can still provide it the right conditions to continue operation for a long time. Cells are neat

@travcollier 9 ай бұрын

But plastids have gotten rid of a lot of genes and structures which were redundant with stuff that the host cells provide. There's even been a lot of gene transfer from plastids into the nuclear DNA. So, just like parasites (but even moreso), chloroplasts and other plastids are very specialized to their particular host. BTW: Transfer of some genes from chloroplasts to nuclear DNA has happened a bunch of times independently. Just interesting/odd that it appears to be relatively easy.

@qwertydavid8070 8 ай бұрын

@@travcollier Yeah this is what I was gonna say. Chloroplasts and Mitochondria have gotten so intrinsically interconnected to their hosts that they're barely even organisms anymore. Like, imagine if one of your organs was actually like a tiny rat that connected itself to your stomach (uhhhh sorry in advance for the gross imagery but it's just to illustrate the point of how "barebones" mitochondria are) That rat would have to loose all it's fur and skin. It'd probably also loose all it's sensory organs. So imagine a gross skinned rat with no eyes, ears, or mouth, with a tube sticking from it's stomach into yours. It'd probably also loose a lot of it's muscular capabilities, so if you were to surgically remove this wet lump-of-meat rat it'd probably do nothing but slightly spasm and pulsate on the floor. This rat is so intrinsically connected to you that it's indistinguishable from other organs. That's pretty much how different mitochondria are from their ancestors.

6:25 the reason that chloroplasts and mitochondria have their own DNA is that once they were independent organisms that started out in a symbiotic relationship with the cells. They were absorbed by the cells much as these slugs do the chloroplasts, and eventually became part of it losing all but the DNA necessary to produce either chlorophyll for the chloroplasts or ATP in the mitochondria. But in both instances they also lost the DNA that allowed them to survive on their own.

@@GeoffryGifarichloroplasts as well as mitochondria contain their own dna with which they can synthesise SOME of the proteins used in their electron transport chain. However a lot of the proteins vital to their function are coded in nuclear DNA so you can’t just insert a chloroplast into an animal cell as it doesn’t have the necessary genes that code for the proteins needed to maintain the chloroplast. This next part is just me speculating, but I’m pretty sure that differences in rybossomal RNA in plant and animal cells also make it so chloroplasts can’t use animal rybossomes

In some fields, it seems like you need a billion-dollar particle accelerator to make any substantial new discoveries, so I think it's really exciting that there's deep stuff like this (how does a critter steal and then maintain the organelles of a completely different kingdom of life!?) that could potentially* be figured out by researchers and students in many university's bio labs. *Not that it'd be easy or anything, obvs, but possible?

I love your videos, you do such good research and present it in such a fun way! I'd love to see you do an episode on tunicates, they're such weirdos, from losing their notochord as adults, to being animals that make cellulose, to the whole obligate reversing their blood flow every few minutes

i think it's kinda crazy there's such a lack of research to find on them :0 they're so cool

I just found you yesterday AND you like my favorite video game???? I love you, Octopus Lady. You and Zefrank now occupy a special science-shaped place in my heart. I don't know what the shape of science is but I bet its cool.

Cool a science video that brings up more questions than answers. Very characteristic of the field. 11/10

Huh. The breakage thing makes sense, that's how lizard tails work. They have special bones and muscles to squeeze off the breakage point and stop bleeding. It's also disconcerting as all hell (but cool) b/c there's like fleshy bits on the end, and it wiggles around to distract predators. Spiny mice also have osteoderms, I don't think it's been confirmed that's how they're able to do their thing, but it wouldn't surprise me. But growing an entire body? Metal (I kinda want a band made up of lizards, spiny mice, and these slug bois now).

Hi Octopus Lady! I was wondering if you could do a video on salps... they blew my mind when I learned about them recently. Also I love the way you present all this educational info in such a cute, funny and light-hearted manner!
