What Do Pea Plants Have To Do With Your Eye Color? (Mendelian Genetics): Crash Course Botany #10

[@crashcourse]

The answer to the extra credit question is…. Hawkweed! What's a cool discovery you know about that is often overshadowed by a scientist's more famous work?

🥂🍾

[@deusvacui]

I remember watching Alexis's videos trying to forage for random mushrooms/fungi in the woods

[@drforeheadkisses]

I love her passionate energy for teaching. This is great, thanks CrashCourse!

[@HassanGaba1]

I love her enthusiasm for plants

[@LandraRaible]

This is one of my favorite video series on KZbin. Alexis is teaching important science concepts, and she is also presenting a master class on how to make the learning process fun and engaging. Thanks Alexis!

[@cassiepetit3767]

I love that Alexis is part of CrashCourse! Love her content 🩷

[@Anuchan]

I'd love to see you do a course on fungus.

[@tarjacharlisehwang1598]

YES!

[@sweeetjuicetv]

SAMEEE! Crash Course Mycology would be wild

[@JeanetteFL]

Yay, Alexis! I love the @BlackForager and am so happy to see her on CrashCourse sharing her love and enthusiasm for teaching others about plants! 😄🌿💗

[@fitztastico]

Omg, SO excited to see Alexis on here! I am trying my hand at hybridizing flowers so I thought "that's right up my alley" when I see the video title. To immediately see Alexis on my screen is SUCH a delight. I live in Cbus and she has been so kind and friendly whenever I or my friends have seen her out and about and said hello. So happy to see you succeeding and sharing your passion and knowledge with the world 💪👍❤️

[@lorro4loco]

So happy to see Alexis making big moves☺️

[@viniciusmoreliparisi]

Awesome! I'm from Brazil, and is amazing having so well-done and complete material for study and curiosities. I feel blessed because of internet and these passionated content creators!

[@emilynotemmy.]

loved this. she's a natural teacher. keep up the good work 👍

[@dennis_mihaylov]

The best episode so far! I loved it so much

[@OveratedUnderdog]

BlackForager is a great follow, love that she's doing crash course videos!

[@JulesJuno737]

:0 I saw your renter friendly mosquito free pond video. What a delight you are when you public speak! Thank you.

Contemporary popular expositions have been trying to get _away from Mendelian_ presentations, because it is clear that so much of life is multigenic, and that expression is complex. Indeed, human eye color is a good example of this need to do more than Mendelian genetics. If one takes a direct to consumer DNA test, such as from 23andMe, there are "predictions" of eye color but they are usually *heavily caveated* because the actual eye color expressed is not a simple Mendelian trait.

Very helpful.

[@jayaaaa._]

not me watching a crash course about something I already know because it’s ALEXIS! what the HECK

[@jinxedfates]

my fav talking about my fav subject amazing

[@mikimauski]

I loved this!

[@medusianAllure]

Thank you for explaining the answer my high school biology teacher couldn’t answer 15 years ago. I'm looking forward to learning more about complex alleles. The example I gave was my eye colour. I have hazel eyes, but my dad has blue eyes (recessive) and my mother had brown eyes. I have my paternal grandpa's eyes despite blue eyes' recessiveness. Or how my hair texture is a combination of both parents and I keep on finding stray red and blonde hairs despite them being once again, recessive alleles from my paternal grandpa. Or lastly, my physical mutation that I inherited from my dad that never existed in living memory.

This is so interesting. My mother has two butterfly bushes with different coloured flowers. Now I'm curious which colour is the dominant one and willing to find out with my own knowledge of genetics 😊.

[@jehjah3854]

genetics are so interesting! makes me want to do my own peapod experiments, too bad I have the opposite of green thumb 😅

[@kiarafultz7137]

Amazing 👏 I watch her on tik tok as well. You are so full of knowledge ✨️

[@helloayanna]

I love Alexis!! This is so awesome.

[@chrisvielle6629]

I am more curious about these backgrounds you choose for show.

[@SplendoursVale]

Thank you Alexis!

[@corey8778]

im learning i promise but WHERE DO I GET THAT BUTTERLY PIN THAT'S TOO CUTE

[@frankieocnarf536]

Happy botany, don’t die!!!

[@bogoleo]

I like this explanation.

[@sirsilasj.coates2169]

Please do Calculus crash course and College Algebra

[@SkyBlueMt18]

Awesome!

[@socksforlife1530]

Love the hair clip

[@MatrixTheKitty]

Alexis really rockin that Ned Flanders drip huh?

[@notmedude]

Dobře ty, Mendel!

[@ManOfSteel1]

what is the difference between green and white peas?

[@kittyqueenofdoom]

Hey! I follow her on tiktok!

[@turk3killer5]

Hi Alexis, thank you.

[@FairMiles]

10:05 I guess ants aren't the best example of Mendelian genetics… 🤭😅

[@Syco108]

Yay! Biology!

[@paralleluniverse369]

_I bet you are watching this with one leg over the other !_ ✨

[@user-rh6ru5oz2o]

Not the folks with only one leg

[@FrizzDaDrizz]

Are you spying on me?

[@aurorafauna4195]

Lets not forget what he was up to before the pea plants, breeding rats
