What is DNA?

Paul Andersen describes the molecular structure of DNA. He describes the major parts of a nucleotide and explains how they are assembled into a nucleic acid. The nitrogenous base, deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group make up a single nucleotide. The 5' and 3' end of DNA is described. The importance of hydrogen bonds in the 3-dimensional shape is also included.

your students are lucky to have you as a teacher! Thanks for taking extra time to make these videos

[@Bozemanscience1]

Meg E Thanks so much.

[@mfundo1pumla]

how i wish i could watch some of your videos on enzymes activity.

[@Lexyvil]

Best educational channel on KZbin, for sure.

[@JoseGranny]

Thanks alot, I finally understand what the 3 prime end and 5 prime end mean!

My teacher uses your videos in lessons, my exam is tomorrow and im stressing so hard because she hasnt taught us well. Our Unuversity class has a class average of 53. She never incorperates the textbook in her lessons . She only uses bland power points and never goes into the point. Our class poor performance isnt due to us. Its because her tests are extremely difficult and believe me I studied my ass off for all her tests. I spent at least 9 hours studying for our genetics unit test and ended up doing mediocre . She also decides to give us a unit test the week before exams and didnt even review for the exam. She is by far the worst teacher i have ever had. She is the reason I wont be in honour roll. She squeezed in a whole unit two weeks befor the exam. Who ever is reading this thank you for listening.. needed to vent.

[@ashneva4679]

That sounds so stressful, and frustrating, sorry that happened to you, hope you're doing okay now.

[@Jewao]

@@ashneva4679 yeah everything is good now, I’m going to third year university and majoring in Psychology. That teacher still gives me flashbacks till this day, thank God university isn’t what she said it was like, overall she was the worst teacher a student could have.

[@gregorysagegreene]

I'm just here because Molecular Cellular Biology is soooo interesting - especially Abiogenesis, 'Chemical Evolution', and Intracellular Machinery. And I didn't even study basic inorganic chemistry in Community College. (My Associate Degrees were in Business, Accounting, and Computer Science). But I find that seeking knowledge is enthralling now, while getting High Honors back then was primarily a function of educating myself regardless of Professor or Teaching Method. Like the Nazi Lady in 'Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skulls' said: "I vant to know!" Anyway, it sucks they made you do Biology as a completion elective when all you are interested in is Psychology. And, totally agree with you that (even though I had some brilliant Professors), many were also idiots. I remember a Statistics 'Professor' who raced so hard writing out the lecture on the board, and started erasing it at the end as I was the last one to leave still trying frantically to copy it all down. Apparently, she also had gained the illustrious position of the Dean of the Mathematics Faculty. Yet, according to rumor, past years' students had rebelled and tried to get her thrown out!

[@cutestuff1115]

It's crazy and sad at the same time that most of the information in this video was never mentioned to me in my bio courses.

I just want to thank you so much for all the clarifications.

[@ussrinivasan]

Fantastic explanation of DNA. It is clear, crisp and informative. As a doctor who studied this 20 years ago, still I found it to be extremely useful as a teaching as well as learning aid.Both the video and audio [talk] are good and cogent. Hats of to Paul Andersen.

[@klutchplaya]

My college professor made all this seem so complicated MR. Anderson helped me get it in 10 minutes! THANK YOU MR.ANDERSON

[@Pawsandclaws337]

Again, you turn a complicated topic into an understandable one! Everything you explain is simply logical! You are amazing! Thank you so much!

[@nievesgo1]

Mr, Andersen, I can't express how grateful to you. Thank you so much!

[@ratatat12356]

I always switch between crash course and your videos because sometimes crash course is a little too vague and I need clarification.

[@sheilasanchez5625]

So relatable. Literally my life right now

[@richarddisney1664]

I found this to be extremely helpful, thank you. You answered many questions that most other videos and books ignore.

[@VioMaya]

Best video I have found so far. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

[@madpixie1000]

Awesome. Thanks for making such a comprehensive video

[@MyDantheman11]

Thanks a lot man!! My teacher spent hours trying to explain DNA to us, and you did it all in 10 minutes... u rock man, imma watch every one of your videos!!

[@taramansion]

Thank you for posting these. I am fairly bright, but am a slow processor and have a learning disability. What I do in class and reading the book isn't always enough for me, so I watch your videos as a supplement. So far, I have an "A" in college bio. Watching your videos seems to connect the remaining dots for me. Thank you!!

[@Suzi_P]

Im very lucky to have ur videos which are very helpful. You are an amazing professor.
