Genetics helps us understand the biological programming behind all life forms. What aspect of genetics research intrigues you the most?

[@grinfacelaxu]

National Geographic how will be human after million year?

[@yoyo-kf4nx]

Evolution of mankind in the next 100 years

[@213kanwernadeem5]

The most intriguing part in genetics is how the things at such a small leve affect the things at such a large level...the genes are so small and phenotype is so obvious!

[@djdigital3806]

National Geographic What intrigued me the most about genetic research would be that fact we can see technically see DNA.

[@rupalideore7286]

I love genetics the most i am of 16 and I find to make carrier in genetics cause the most important part which attracts me towards it is research and I find it to be interesting and having fun with it. I consider Sir Gregor Medel as my god as they founded so interesting side to make carrier.

Genes have been felt since they were young, but they seem very mysterious. It is very interesting that a child inherits the traits of a parent. Of course, I am a student of earth science, so I do not know very much about inheritance, but I could still feel the mystery as a human being.

[@viktorijanovak336]

Its fascinating that we inherit not only from our parents, but everyone in our genetic tree. So even first cell that started to develop, and from what you came from. We have all life on earth history in us.. Well, everyone we ever were, and all animals that we developed from. Those are probably just small parts, and mostly basic like instinct, reflexes, stuff like fear and sense for enviroment..and im sure so many details we dont even know yet...

wow!! tysm ur the best understood it from here better than the prof’s explanation ❤❤

[@antonioguzman9744]

Actually there are around 60000 genes in the human genome, but just 20000 of them encode for proteins. The rest of them are regulating which genes will be expressed in each moment (all of our body cells have the same genome, but not all the cells will express the same genes, thats why there are different types of cells, in fact, not even the same cell types will express the same genes, because the micro-environment might be different in each case)

[@irfanhaider9987]

This channel is so ganuine for scientific knowledge wow

I am never regretting vising your channel and watching any of your videos❤️Op animation❤️❤️💯🌟✨

[@AzlianaLyana]

Of course, there would be ethical issues pertaining to gene modification. Should we be given access to eventually modify traits of the human being as easy as flicking a switch for certain traits? Are we there yet? Are we almost there yet? It's just a matter of time. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.

[@aleksandersuur9475]

It's not quite as simple as flicking a switch, but what you can do is prepare a bunch of embryos, take DNA samples and select the best of the lot to continue pregnancy with. It's not really a question of ethics, it's a matter of time when we must start doing that on large scale. You see, modern medicine is great and all, but it's completely mucking up our gene pool. Traits that in the normal course of things would be instantly removed from gene pool by death of individual or be at least strongly selected against, instead get treated and managed and they linger and get passed on to next generation. We are collecting genetic defects and we have removed evolutions ability to take care of it. We have mucked it up with technology, we are going to have to fix it with technology.

[@mustafaal-ghezi1757]

it's already being done in in-vitro fertilization where they will only select embryo's that don't have certain genetic disease. This is only done for certain cases where we know what disease to look for because it is still way to expensive to implement for everyone. But imagine a world where we destroy the diversity of our own gene pool and because of that we get eradicated by a deadly strain of viruses ( i get chills just thinking about it)

Wow...my professor played this video today and wala i found it on KZbin.

[@brady3195]

I learned when the concept of genes where thought of

[@cvheugten]

Today the emphasis is on genetic engineering. Modifying the dna with crispr/cas9. With that, both very low cost and very powerful, it is possible to make changes in the genome. For instance to wipe out cancer, or dengue. Or to destroy malaria by altering the dna of malaria carrying mosquito’s Front research is going in the direction of making complete ‘profiles’ of all genes in a genepool. With that experts can build software that uses those profiles. And then someone with hardly any knowledge of genetics can experiment on living cells. True, ethics is important. But think of this: there will always be countries that don’t live by our ethical standards. So whatever we do, changes and disasters will take place.

[@leekenyon8705]

I heard of a thought projection experiment that involved a experiment with a type of organic radio that sends and receive information to the brain and sounds more difficult then implanting inorganic devices that could be used as a form of short ranged nonverbal communication and either way both people must have the implant and could be made out of a persons own DNA reducing chances of the body rejecting the bio device and it would need a method of blocking people or shutting itself down and my worry is such devices might expand beyond this to mind control.

[@shayorshayorshayor]

What?

[@lanremodele180]

After seeing the complexity of the Chromosomes, DNA ,genes and information carried on genes I now ask myself this question? Is it distantly possible that people still believe that a random big bang suddenly happened and Every thing fell perfectly into place. Why have we not seen a big bang that forms new perfect structures in our lifetime. But we have seen a creative designer who designed Mercedes and the Ferrari sports car. These things are not even as complex as the DNA

[@starg1028]

Science is literally the study of creation. Literally the foundation off all that exists is done through intelligent design. Science without spiritual knowledge is blind and vice versa
