I love when you hear him nerding out getting all excited explaining why something is important.

[@andhapaisa260]

Same bro i like the way he talk

[@misbahkhanum391]

Exactly

[@damodarshanbhag3476]

Thanks helped understand my lesson in more detail with clear view 👍👍

[@xxxxxx5868]

Nuclear membrane

[@waynerelampagos4285]

Where's prometaphase?

[@ayatali9059]

so there are 46 chromosomes in the cell all the time...... right?

[@Cars2155]

what I learned from this video: chromosomes are not magenta colored centrosomes are not to be confused with centromeres

[@Becca_Lynn]

These videos are SO incredibly helpful! Short, to the point, and very well explained. Thank you! :)

[@sundareshans9926]

nice one

true!

[@kyletomlinson5365]

7:05 lol Sal says "what's going to happen next" 4 times

[@matthewbain9359]

The suspense

[@thegamerbrothers4597]

Lol

[@michaelb8924]

He repeats everything quite frequently in order to emphasize the steps. But sometimes, like in the case that Kyle pointed out, he is just stuttering lol

REMIX!!!

[@natashavernon9828]

You should have a podcast ! Thank you so much . You have no idea how many students around the world that are blessed because of you .

[@eztosay]

I Picked Me A Tasty Cookie Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis

[@reneelewis9346]

Thank you so much for explaining this. I spent almost all day trying to figure out the roles of the centrosomes, microtubules, and centromeres were!! It's hard to visualize what books are trying to describe. I am more of a visual learner, so this helped so much!!!

[@vanesalozano1786]

Same 😭

[@VSPG_SIVANI]

Sal loves magenta!

[@747Sean]

but does magenta love Sal

[@nisthak.5787]

Taking a science test tommrow and this really helped me as well as all the other videos khan academy has to offer? I use their videos mostly for my algebra 1. You guys are the best keep it up. (Inspiring nerds like me everywhere)😂

[@thenutritionresource8041]

I'm making it magenta... bc it looks nice... Indeed, it does look nice, indeed

[@bethford1150]

Amazing video thank you :) If anyone is in the UK studying A-Level Biology you also need to know that animal cells cleve from the outside in, and plant cells cleve from the inside out, laying down platelets of cellulose. It was a question that came up on a paper a few years ago and caught people by supprise!

[@SarcasticSummer11]

the swallowing makes me want to scream... HOWEVER your videos have helped me ALOT - Thanks a Bunch!

[@rossie_2027]

Just a tip to differentiate between centromere and centrosome centroMere - middle (MIDDLE of sister chromatids & cell) centroSome- Side (sides of sister chromatids & cell). I hope this helps.

[@anaskhalid6244]

0:16 "My-toe-sis" lol

[@almasdp]

when people they put out this long presentations with so much info in them, they are hard to follow. they are all so worried about sounding academical and the message gets lost. but not with you. you are awesome.

[@logansmith3850]

There is a God.... :0

[@rebeccam383]

proof through science :)

[@rofenamaw0]

Logan Smith how is that obvious??

[@benzylbenzoate7208]

Yeah right. It's Logical

[@Yo-ut4de]

It is Khan Academy 😊

[@kipling1957]

I think there should be another name for a "chromosome" when it is replicated into two sister chromatids (duosome?). This new entity is essentially two chromosomes lassoed together and yet we still refer to it as "a chromosome", which can be confusing for students when describing mitosis/meiosis.

[@taystar957]

These videos are the reason i am not failing my classes

[@Minecraftj-qk4if]

2:53 What is Newton's First Law? Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia. The key point here is that if there is no net force acting on an object (if all the external forces cancel each other out) then the object will maintain a constant velocity. If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest. If an external force is applied, the velocity will change because of the force. So what external force acts upon the cell to do Cytokinesis do you know what kinesis means in Greek? It means MOTION "Scientists are still trying to explain HOW this process works" Here is the twist, they do know, they just won't accept the truth keep in mind, no cell has a brain by its self so how can everything in that cell move without an intelligence behind that? they can't not without help from the creator, God himself hear me out, how many parts of the DNA sequence are there? FOUR how many rectangles extend outward from the cross that Jesus died on? FOUR just saying

[@rahimashaikh1722]

This helped me so much . Thank you so much . I finally understand .

[@0114mercury]

Thanks for explaining mitosis. If you don't mind, I would like to ask a few questions for clarification: 1) Two sister chromatids, are they exactly identical, or are they "complement" of each other, A being paired with T, C with G? If sister chromatids are exactly identical, what bond makes them stay together? 2) I watched both Mitosis and Meiosis video. Where does the concept of "double helix" comes into play?

[@RachelNicole5]

Thank you so much for these helpful videos! I'm a visual learner and I couldn't get through college without KZbin! Only thing, with this video, you didn't mention the Prometaphase stage, which I need to know for class...there are 5 stages to mitosis, not four. Still a helpful video.

[@marie-eve8863]

Really depends on the teacher

[@maekosin]

Right now I just need the subtitles in English to practice my pronunciation ^^

[@TacticalDraws]

Thank you very much for the video, I struggled to comprehend mitosis from textbooks and lessons but this was very well presented

[@noahmahler]

this guy knows how to explain stuff, i have never understood this. Now after just one video I get it

[@AdrianaBazz]

I love and appreciate all your videos, all the saliva and swallowing sounds tho make me irrationally angry. 😘

[@CameronTrendell]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have a test tomorrow and this is a really good study technique.

[@AnnoyedAtEverything]

Much more helpful than just reading the slides my prof provided. Thank you!!

[@alexandrathegreatestperson]

Taught me more than my biology teacher did

[@SXB_zz]

same🤣🤣

[@wendysturd]

Thank you keep up the awesome work. I feel so much more ready for my big test coming up having watched your videos.

[@eventsharku5436]

i thank god your channel exists

[@huzaifaabedeen7119]

your cell is looking like a potato

[@serarv9346]

You just saved my life. Thank you

[@emilydyos3043]

These videos make complex concepts so much easier to understand. Thank you so, so much! I can't believe how much I enjoy watching them. I choose them over my lectures any day! This is HEAVEN to the visual learner, which is the best way I learn!

[@roseb2105]

for some reasons I always confused this is each sister chromatoid doubly stranded

[@tusharpal5431]

question . for cytokinesis, except for the centrosomes, do other organelles replicate?

[@MadXperts]

NO

[@changethegame8139]

Prophase Sister chromatids (DNA) go from being in their spread-out chromatin form, to a more condensed form that can be seen from a light microscope, connected at the centromere. Nuclear membrane/envelope starts to go away. Centrosomes migrate to opposite sides of the cell. Mitotic spindle begins to develop Metaphase Nuclear membrane is now gone Chromosomes start to line up in the middle of the cell Centrosomes are at opposite ends of the cell Microtubules extend from centrosomes to the other centrosomes and centromeres. This helps steady the tension of the cell, making sure everything stays in the right place. The mitotic spindle is now fully formed and three groups of spindle microtubules should be present. Next anaphase DNA separates and migrates to either side of the cell. Microtubules from the centrosome begin to pull on the sister chromatids, separating them into independent chromosomes. The point at which the spindle fibres attach to the sister chromatid is known as the kinetochore. Cellular membrane begins to pinch inward at the centre point, preparing for the cell to split into 2 (cytokenises). Telophase Nuclear membranes form around the DNA. DNA goes back to its chromatid form. Cytokinesis occurs

[@ghazalmaleki927]

hate it when he swallows :(:(

[@zackcleary4106]

"You'll see this in the cell - it's unlikely to me magenta!"

[@omarkhaled2550]

OMG STOP SWALLOWING INTO THE MICROPHONE GOOD GODDD

[@mbb8201]

Thank you so much! I have a test in cell biology this week and these videos are so helpful!

[@janeeshajyotsna492]

I just have one small doubt... what happens to all the organelles in the cell when mitosis happens? Do they disintegrate along with the nuclear membrane? However, your videos are extremely well depicted and a great way to study! Hope you keep up your good work!

[@whatever-nr3tb]

They also grow and synthesize like mitochondria in G1 and G2 phases

[@hushone5266]

This guy really needs practice with speaking, the repetition of the same two words three or four times in a row is annoying and makes it harder to focus on the lesson. Also, editing the video so you're not watching him struggle with drawing stuff would be helpful, lead to less wasted time.

[@manyajonnalagadda3662]

My lord and savior...Sal

[@Talhasait]

Does Metaphase comes after Prophase? because in my book it says that Prophase is Prometaphase!

[@16nilofar]

You can use this abbreviation to remember the stages of mitosis: P-MAT. Proprophase is not exactly a definite stage imo, it's more of a transition into prophase. However, PMAT= Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. Hope that helps :)

[@cosmo6122]

Me when it’s the morning of my Ap Bio exam

[@MehediHasan-ds5lz]

Besr lecture I have ever seen on mitosis(from Bsngladesh 🇧🇩)

[@miss-sunshine]

This is sooooo crazy wow god created us perfectly subhana Allah 🤌🏻🤌🏻and thank you , you explained this lesson briefly, in an perfect and enjoyable way 🤍

[@afinamoreASL]

Does anyone else think this guy's voice sounds a tiny bit like Obama?

[@jouma5295]

please swallow away from the microphone.

[@dioxsis3887]

You skipped prometaphase D:

[@upanimapala-gamage9204]

prometaphase is just another word for the transition between prophase and Metaphase. its is not a stage of mitosis. 🙂

[@notreally5255]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXISTENCE

[@AndroidIdentity]

8:50 Whoever said there was ANYTHING "basic" or "simple" about cell division/cell cycle was either really cocky or had no idea what they were talking about.

[@estimatingonediscoveringthree]

Essentially every aspect of the “how” of mitosis is not understood I wonder what part of this process evolved first , lol. Explanation for the simple- evolution.

[@San30025]

never expect to find zhongli teaching biology here

[@mariohernandez7846]

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ORGANELLES!!!??

[@michellemazzyy]

truly an artist..

[@kellyrehak]

this is the best video ever, very informative and FUN. saved my life in ap bio and now i love the color magenta. 10/10 would watch again and again. what a good time best teacher EVER!!!!

[@mayanaqvi2912]

just wow. Thank you very much . you explained v well. even you emphasized those things every time where we can confuse like centromere centosome etc . Literally i can say that with the 16 years education i always confused about chromosome form now you cleared the concept about chromatid that this is also called one copy of chromasome . Thank you very much. sometimes we confuse even with very little things but you also clear little things. This is my first time when i heared your lecture and became your fan

[@MAhmed-lg4lv]

gr8 video. just one question. after the telophase, when does the chromosome return to it's scrambled original form or does it at all?

[@นายชอนปรารถนามอร์ฟีน]

The best vid for mitosis explained! I really thanks of your vid.

[@peony919]

im so tired its 7:45am i wanna go back to bed

[@madisonjoe1911]

how much to hire your brain for a day pls?

[@Miriamono565]

This is video is great , thank you. Question: Why does DNA have to be compacted?

[@imharmless1451]

Thank you so much. Our school has to take standard tests to graduate and this helps so much. Now, off to Meiosis!

[@whiteboardanimatorhamna]

Thank you very much sir! love your lectures. I'm so grateful for these videos. These help me v.v.much

[@shannons2006]

Omg thank you for making these videos! I have a test on mitosis and meiosis tomorrow and it was super confusing but i totally get it now!

[@drsultansaudagar2733]

THERE ARE NO WORDS TO APPRECIATE YOUR WORK......👍👍👍👍👍👍✅✅✅✅✅

[@thrsonlytoday]

Best Explanation Ever!

[@noirerequiemii101]

Using this for addition biology notes... I have GCSE exams soon 😊

[@alexiacase6732]

great drawings and explanation, also very cool handwriting! thanks for the help.

[@sneshmamvelase483]

Thank you #mitosis made easy

[@laurah-i9695]

I just can't with the swallowing, stop it

[@aliashraf7475]

for who asks how all this happens .. and how complicated the process is .. in fact Allah who create all things (create me and you ) and all the world .... can make it know how should it work perfectly right .. "and sorry for my bad English 😄"

[@noorj7782]

Wow everyone that’s good in biology is a genius, in my opinion 😂 I envy this guy 😂

[@roseb2105]

so mitosis starts with 92 chormosomes ( 46 pairs) inorder to divide into 2 cellsÉ

[@beboou8572]

Thank you for saving my life ❤

[@finanmclaren]

Thankyou Sal!!! you explain things so well for me.

[@reloadg16]

Most of your videos have lots of unnecessary waste time and words. Also your organization is not helpful. Im sorry i feel like feedback is important.

[@sadiajunaid3818]

That was very helpful. These videos are very well explained. Thank you😊

[@monikasudan3895]

Y nuclear membrane appears again during telophase ....sir?????

[@nupurfunkwal9899]

Brilliant explanation sir!!

[@rebeccam383]

Thank you! The way you explain things makes it really easy to understand:)

[@ishajoe101]

Omg this video helped cleared up all of the confusion I had, thank you!

[@Itshamsul]

How does the cell know it has to divide?

[@MussaPhiri-b1u]

Oh wonderful teaching
