ASMR Teaching You Genetics! | Explaining 12 Crazy Facts

Hello! Welcome to my second teaching you about genetics video! It's been a super long time since I did one of these so I thought it was time for another. In this video, I explain a bunch of genetics concepts like dominance/recessive traits, X-linked traits, and epigenetics and tell you how a child can have 3 parents, fish can have clear blood, lactose tolerance is a mutation, sickle cell anemia is more prevalent in Africa, and men are more likely to be colorblind! I'm happy to have you here!

the fact that you’ve literally taught me more then my bio teacher

[@pamelaasmr]

Haha I love that

[@GigglingChinchilla]

How I wish I had you as a teacher teaching this in High School. Finally I seem to get it, 10 years later haha.

[@pamelaasmr]

Haha I’m glad!

[@Rinhatesbitches]

As a ninth grader who happened to stumble across your content about a couple weeks ago, I really appreciate this video. I struggle specifically with biology, and you've explained everything in a way I've been able to understand. I love your style of content, and the way I can fall asleep and wake up feeling that much smarter. I enjoy learning, and I enjoy ASMR. Thank you for putting these two things together. Thank you for providing us with your awesome content, and thank you KZbin algorithm for recommending me this asmrtist. You are incredibly underrated. I believe you'll be big one day. You can bet I'll be here the entire journey. Keep doing what you do : )

[@pamelaasmr]

Thank you so much! That means a lot and I’m so happy to have you here!

[@ralphington8441]

This was fascinating! I could listen to interesting facts like this all day! I’m gonna try and remember some of these and just drop them into conversation so people think I’m dead clever. Thanks Pam

[@pamelaasmr]

I’m so glad you liked it!

[@christamayo9313]

Love when you talk this way and share your knowledge and sophistication.....trivia is fun but this reminds of your early videos.....people light up when they talk things they are passionate about

[@pamelaasmr]

I’m glad you liked it!

[@istannagito]

I just saw your other video, and I wanted to see if you did more of those because I really enjoyed it! Thank you so much!

girl this was so interesting and so well done I have never understood this stuff until now you literally explained it perfectly

[@pamelaasmr]

Aw thank you!

Another interesting cat fact, while calico cats are always female, orange cats are normally always male! This is because the gene for orange, as stated, is on the X chromosome. Male cats only need one of these genes to be orange, while females would need two to be orange ☺️

[@GetPrettyWithPuff]

i graduated with a Bio degree and Genetics was one of my hardest classes (failed and had to take twice) i hated the class but hearing you whisper facts was like a relaxing refresher 🥰 more science videos please!

[@pamelaasmr]

Haha I’m glad! I’ll try to do some more!

[@barnabusowl4252]

What are your thoughts on a third video, but hear me out, making it more "role-play" ish and less fourth-wall-y

About the calico cats you could add that there are in fact some male calico cats (fewer than 1%) but those have a genetic disorder: They have 3 sex chromosomes: XXY (in humans this is called Klinefelter syndrome). Those male cats are, however, all sterile. On the other hand, 80% of all orange cats are male; the orange colour gene is recessive, so female cats only can be orange if they have it in both X chromosomes.

[@pamelaasmr]

Oh yeah I wasn’t even thinking about Kleinfelter syndrome in cats. I guess Turner syndrome female cats also couldn’t be calico

[@Ragdollcatlover]

Love this!!! So interesting thank you.

This was so soothing and relaxing but also really, really interesting. I learned loads! The only ASMR video I've come across like it. It definitely watch more like this, with interesting facts delivered in a soothing way! Just a note on the light skin/dark skin part. I'm pretty sure its the other way around. Early humans originated in Africa and dark skin was the standard for obvious reasons. Light skin only developed as humans emigrated north, where daily sunlight levels were much lower, and so vitamin D absorption became a problem. Lighter skin allows for more vit D absorption and so became a genetic advantage. I'm not an expert, lol, but I think thats the case.

[@pamelaasmr]

Thank you!! I’m pretty sure it’s actually a mix between the two. The earliest humans didn’t have either extreme of skin color but lighter and darker skin evolved based on latitude

[@user42183]

i loved this! more sciencey videos plsss

Thank you!

you should consider going into teaching, coming from someone who never really understood biology, you explained it so well and actually made it interesting

[@pamelaasmr]

Aw thank you!

[@sonicspeeder201]

Oooooh Genetics Prof. Pamela! I know the idea of ASMR is to relax and help you fall asleep and If ( More so when) I do, will I be told off for sleeping in our lecture?

[@pamelaasmr]

This is the only lecture where you’re fully allowed to sleep!

Definitely the hardest class I took at university. Might have been because of COVID, but I had so much trouble with the concepts - still passed 😂. Love basic review though!

On the topic of defective genes, my dad knows this family that has a genetic disease so rare it’s named after the family. Every one born to the family gets it and they all die before they hit 60, I believe it is. On the topic of sickle-sell, I suspect that it occurs at higher rates in Africans and their decedents due to the fact that the African genomes mutants faster which I suspect is due to higher exposure to solar radiation, which is known to cause cellular mutations. As for Chimera Syndrome, I remember that from an episode of House back in the day. Somewhat on the subject of epigenetics, I have long believed that there is something to Astrology. Not that the stars dictate our futures, but the personality traits that go along with the different signs, to whatever degree they are accurate, could be caused by fluctuations in solar radiation throughout the year, so depending on when you were gestating, you were subjected to a different level than someone conceived six months later. I literally just watched something about the clear blooded fish, and yes, they are in Antarctica. The fish there have devolved to have clear blood. While this video in no way is going to help me sleep, I find genetics fascinating.

Punnet squares on my favourite😁

[@graceelizabeth130]

i don't care about science at all but genetics always interested me and you're so good at explaining btw

[@pamelaasmr]

Thank you!

[@ThatOneGuyWeAllKnow]

I remember using the square to explain to my friend why his kid having a cleft when him and his girlfriend didn’t have one was highly unlikely. This lead to paternity test and a break up

Heyy, how can i know if my eye genes are BB or Bb when they are brown?? I was just thinking abt the fact that if my mom and/or dad have Bb i could too, even if my whole family has brown eyes and that question has kept me awake

[@pamelaasmr]

Haha yeah you can’t really know. I guess you’ll find out if you have a blue eyed child 🤷🏻‍♀️ if you don’t have any blue eyed people in your family, you’re most likely BB

[@jordanhartley825]

This is going to be great, might put me to sleep too.

[@pamelaasmr]

I hope you enjoy!

The thing about women with hemophilia raises some questions ... it seems the more we rely on medicine and technology, the more hereditary diseases prevail and get passed down through the generations. That could also mean that, should we ever encounter an alien species, they were possibly technologically extremely advanced but unable to even survive without their technology.

[@pamelaasmr]

Yeah kind of crazy to think about 😳

[@Stephanie-fw7wv]

So I have hazel eyes and both my parents have blue? My eyes are identical to my grandmothers

[@pamelaasmr]

Interesting 🤔 there are a lot of more complicated genetics factors involved

[@mattbennett9254]

12K!! 😊

[@pamelaasmr]

So exciting!!

[@sofiahiguita4245]

NO WAY, THIS COULD HAVE HELPED ME FOR MY FINAL 💔

[@noahssocool]

okay but what about green or hazel eyes?

[@pamelaasmr]

Then it gets kinda complicated haha. I believe green is recessive to brown but dominant to blue. Hazel is a mix of green and brown

[@joana6474]

I have green/blue eyes and both my parents have brown eyes, I always something was wrong but now I know 😂

[@pamelaasmr]

No that’s normal it just means both your parents are heterozygous for the brown eye gene. It would be bad if you had brown and both your parents had blue 😂

Correction: dark skin came first and mutated as humans traveled further from the equator as a reaction to the colder climates. Great stuff/video otherwise!

[@pamelaasmr]

I learned the other way. I don’t think original humans had either extreme of skin color but both darker and lighter skin evolved due to climate

[@king_louie9485]

Serious Question- What do you say to people that are part of the LGBTQ that says your wrong about the sexes

[@pamelaasmr]

I guess I’d say that biological sex is completely different from gender identity. I completely respect everyone’s right to determine their gender identity but it won’t change their sex chromosomes. X and Y chromosomes determine biological sex but how you feel and identify can be totally separate
