The initial frequency of the red hair gene is therefore 50 percent, or 10 of 20 total genes.

Gene.

Our genetic heritage...

There's no reason for us to be here we're just accidents of genetics,

Recommendation 2

It's genetic.

So these two bacteria both of a common gene called the HFQ gene, which Nye

Ah, oh no, these genes are actually different.

We are all 99.9 genetically equal.

Metagenic research.

It's now under a 10th of a cent.

Unaltered ?

So she has the gene right there for curly hair.

I'll use that word.

And I'd like to submit to you that we have sequenced the human genome, we know everything about the sequence of the gene, the language of the gene, the alphabet of the gene,

Not that weird for this town.

3. Genetic exceptionalism

So I got like the fifth version of the curly allele.

Transposons are just small pieces of DNA that randomly insert in the genetic code.

Some of you have this. And it's sex linked.

Why don't we play it like golf or sailing?

Each version of the gene is called an allele.

I suspect most geneticists don't either, but they produce the numbers.

Either a mutation of the genetic level

Prenatal gene therapy.

You think it's the Ambystoma gene?

I think this means they're all sharks and they've come from a common ancestry.

A key thing is that the major violence genes, it's called the MAO A gene.

So we think that we can expand or contract genomes, depending on your point of view here, to maybe 300 to 400 genes from the minimal of 500.

Ma Yeah, on the previous experiment.

The gene just says, look, this is the gene for whether or not your hair is curly.

We'll dive deep into the biological processes, to learn how people have different bloodtypes

But then maybe they'll have another section here that codes for gene 2.

Recorded Voice Tick, tick, tick.

They're still our closest genetic kin.

It's... a genetic defect of some kind.

So my father's version of that gene, he had the allele for straightness.

So FOXO turns on a lot of genes.

And I just want to say that that is absolutely not going to be the case.

It's a social gene running through us.

He was talking about genetic algorithms, quantum teleportation.

For example, if only four individuals survive an epidemic, then their genes will represent the new gene pool.

So let's say the 150 base pairs that coded for insulin, these make up a gene.

And so one of the things we've been doing is using genetic enhancement, or genetic manipulation, of normal selective breeding pushed a little bit through genetics.

So if there are genes like that, then you can imagine that, if you could change one of the genes in an experiment, an aging gene, maybe you could slow down aging and extend lifespan.
