DNA Replication (Updated)

[@AmoebaSisters]

UPDATE: We have videos dubbed in Spanish and Portuguese using an artificial voice via aloud.area120.google.com to increase accessibility. See our Amoeba Sisters en Español channel kzbin.info/door/1Njo3LBy53cOPngz6ArV8Q and Amoeba Sisters em Português kzbin.info/door/YTQPX2X_mXe0ZMPi0fXxbg Want to help translate our subtitles in any language? Learn more here www.amoebasisters.com/pinkys-ed-tech-favorites/community-contributed-subtitles We hope you like our newly updated DNA replication vid! So what's different? You will find the script to be almost the same, except with a little more detail: we included topoisomerase activity and better explained leading and lagging strands. (Again, remember, there is still much detail to explore beyond this video!) Our art has also improved as we continue to practice and no MS Paint this time ha! You can see our milestones here: www.amoebasisters.com/milestones.html Also, no worries, we try to not delete old videos. The old DNA replication video, if you prefer it, is still here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6K2o6Cbnrymq8U

[@Moshpitti]

The originals actually helped my wife make it to the university of applied sciences this summer! We had other material too, but having it explained in more layman terms and breaking it all down was absolutely the key for us to really crack into the subject. The Amoeba Sisters are our heroes!

That's honestly crazy how do you only do this in one semester and miss something so crucical? What was here is like 15 pages explained very well of the 500 I got for this semester's Biochemistry. Sorry if it sounds like an attack, it's not, I'm just genuinely curious. What specialization is that?

Better than any college class, graduate or otherwise-Amoeba Sisters you are paving the way for future scientists everywhere!!!❤Much love and appreciation for you both!!

[@JD-fn3ni]

Great video, just one quick thing though. Before the Ligase glues the segments together, a different DNA polymerase (DNA Polymerase I) degrades the RNA primers that are left in the segments as the RNA primers itself isn't part of the DNA base pair and replace the segments of RNA primers with DNA segments instead, after this process, the ligase will then glue all the DNA segments in the lagging strand together when they are fully packed with only newly formed DNA segments.

As usual, your videos are AWESOME! I teach college biology and continuously use these videos to supplement my lectures!
