Genetics Basics | Chromosomes, Genes, DNA and Traits | Infinity Learn

The topic of Genetics is quite interesting, but for understanding it, we need to first know the Units of Heredity. What are these units? What are the Factors that carry information from one generation to the other? Chromatids? Chromosomes? Genes? DNA? Or all of these? Let us get to know that in this video!

In this video, we will learn:
0:00 Introduction
0:52 Chromatids & Condensation of the Threads
2:06 What are Chromosomes?
2:37 Genes
3:06 DNA Molecules
4:06 Genetic Material

Thank god I had seen this video otherwise I would written something rubbish in my I understood from my textbooks was completely upside down YOU for the sessions. It is completely helpful for students like me who found it difficult to cooperate with online classes 😊😊

Since an hour i was trying to understand this gene and dna .. Only that helped is this video thank u soo much

Chromatin = DNA + RNA + Histone Proteins

Chromatid = Newly copied DNA attached to the parent DNA in the Chromosome structure

Here, instead of using the term “Chromatin”, we have used “Chromatid” because, we are describing that the cell is about to undergo cell division. This means, the DNA is already replicated. Assuming that the replicated DNA will gradually undergo condensation, and then form the classical chromosomal structure, we have directly mentioned the replicated genetic material as Chromatid. Also, we have mentioned that the thread like structure is chromatid here, because we have shown an image of the threads before condensation. Thus, tangled threads of DNA, which are newly replicated, but not yet condensed are addressed as “chromatids” here!
Also, as we are assuming that the DNA is replicated, we have shown the Bivalent structure of chromosomes, where the 2 sister chromatids are attached to one another. With this, we have reduced the number of intermediate steps that are a part of the topic “Cell cycle and cell division”, and not Genetics.
Hence, the term “Chromatid” instead of “Chromatin” which even helps us show the bivalent chromosome structure for better understanding!

Thank God I found this amazing chanell.I was super confused about where DNA is located?are DNA and genes same and now all are my confusions got clear thank you so much for such a tremendous explanation 💯🙏

[danieloforiboatengasante]

Please there is a correction.
The tangled structures in the nucleus is chromatin . They later form chromosomes. Which consists of chromatids . After cell division, the chromosomes reform chromatin and the process continues

I like the way you teach an the animation.
It makes me easy to understand.

[themaskedman]

One of the best channel that perfectly explains everything in such a creative way
Awesome 👏👏👏

[wasima]

This is a fantastic approach to teaching; if she had been my teacher in high school, I would have undoubtedly pursued a career in biology.

[Abdul.Baseer.]

Your editing skills are getting better day by day

[hz]

The world needs much more complex simple minds like you ... 💯

[marlonsilva]

Thank you very much for your hard work. Got to know everything clearly. 😃

[surwaseprashant]

Dont memories team....you can make anyone doctor in just a year i can say that...i am Civil engineer and for govt exams ...I have to learn the subject which I hated the most and doesn't like at all....but you people are Best teachers I came across till date...I cant thank you people in words....thanks a lot ❣️

Chromosomes are intracellular structures that contain DNA and many genes. A gene is part of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contains a code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body (see Genes and Chromosomes for a discussion of heredity). Genes contain instructions that determine how the body is supposed to behave. With the exception of certain cells (for example, sperm, egg, and red blood cells), each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. There are 22 pairs of non-sex chromosomes (called non-sex chromosomes, numbered chromosomes, or autosomal chromosomes), and one pair of sex chromosomes. Sex chromosomes determine whether a fetus will become male or female; A pair of X and Y chromosomes give birth to males (XY), and a pair of X and X chromosomes give birth to females (XX).

At 1.01 of the video.
I had a doubt . Aren't the thread like structures called chromatin fibres? In the video it says chromatids.

Amazing.lots of love and respect for ur team from pakistan. U nail much appropriately.

[kaushikreddypamireddy]

i was trying to understand genes and chromosomes for the past hour.
i understood it better after watching this video.
ur animation skills are getting better day by day.
tq for making our life easier.
please keep doing this kinda things

[vishalkamble]

plz make video on DNA, RNA structure and function

[roshanibhatta]

You just said chromosomes are made up of gene .But my teacher told chromosome and gene are made up of DNA . Can u explain it ?

[aeditz]

I owe you heartfelt gratitude. Thanks for the detailed info on this, really removed my confusion!
