Teach Astronomy - Early Natural Selection

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ The construction of larger organic molecules from smaller pieces, even if there's a mechanism for it to operate, is essentially a random process and not directed in any way. So how did this process continue to build larger and larger chain molecules? RNA st

DNA Replication: Copying the Molecule of Life

Your DNA needs to be in every cell in your body, so what happens when cells divide? How does each new cell retain all of the genetic information? The DNA is able to copy itself through a process called replication. Let's go through the finer points, shall we? Watch the whole Biochemistry

Why You Can't Build A Clone Army... (Yet)

Sign up for your FREE trial to The Great Courses Plus here: http://ow.ly/2UGB30qCbvs. Because of the way genetic reprogramming works, it’s hard to make one clone based on an adult cell, and it’s almost impossible to make a second-generation one. Thanks also to our Patreon patrons https:/

Teach Astronomy - Replicating Molecules

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ DNA was probably too complex to have been the first replicating molecule in the history of life. RNA is much simpler. It has only one strand, and it would be easier to construct from smaller pieces. However, neither molecule can reproduce itself without en

5 Types of Chemical Reactions (Chemistry) + Activity Series, Solubility Rules

If you see bubbles, or a precipitate formed, that's a good sign that a chemical reaction is taking place. But do you know what KIND of chemical reaction? Chemists typically divide chemical reactions into 5 types: 1) Synthesis (aka Combination) 2) Decomposition (aka Analysis) 3) Single Disp

Philipp HOLLIGER - Synthetic genetics

Synthetic biology seeks to probe fundamental aspects of biological form and function by construction (i.e. resynthesis) rather than deconstruction (analysis). Synthesis thus complements reductionist and analytic studies of life, and allows novel approaches towards

Response to James Tour: 700 Papers and Still Clueless (Part 1 of 2)

Last year I made a video about James Tour, a chemist and creationist who speaks out against origin of life research. He didn't like it much, so he decided to make a 14-part series about how dumb I am. He really pulled out all the stops, parading all of his classic fallacious talking points
