DNA: Key to Life (clip)

DNA: Key to Life (clip)

This film illustrates the structure of DNA, what it does as a carrier of the genetic code, and how this code is transmitted and used in the building of proteins needed for growth and survival. As we witness the miracle and the mystery of life itself, we are also invited to consider the implications of increasing human involvement in changing its basic structure. A Peter Matulavich film. 15 minutes, color. direct link to purchase video: www.phoenixlearninggroup.com

    In RNA, U (uracil) bonds to A instead of T.

    @zealot256
    I see your point, but initially when it was presenting the bases visually, they did it incorrectly.

    Every organism- humans, plants, animals and etc. come from the same exact original cell. The theory was pronounced by Charles Darwin and accepted as a scientific document later on. Meaning..you have same DNA with every living thing in this world. The concept of karma yet solves another piece of a puzzle. Wishing others well, you get well. Wishing others evil, you get evil. What one critics in others, those are his precise flaws..How one sees the world, that is exactly how one sees himself..

    @mariya600 They never said otherwise… When A bonds to T, you will see T joined with A, etc.

    @tallicafan86 Yes, there are proteins, that give a negative feedback to the DNA, and much more.
    Chemicaly is Adenine, Xanthine, Hypoxanthine and Guanine are Purin-bases (Pyrimidin+Imidazol) and Thymine, Cytosine and Uracil Pyrimidin-bases.

    THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION OF ALL:
    .
    What is the underlying law of nature.
    .
    As the way of all things, what effect do you suppose its question, knowledge, understanding and application by? billions of persons will have on the state of global economics, science, the humanities, education, government and business?
    .
    The underlying law of nature is the most important subject any person can investigate and learn about, can proceed to understand, and can then come to personally apply in life.

    It’s a really complex system, much complexer than in this video shown. Many enzymes, chemical structures and proteins work in different ways and in much speed in this system.

    Me thinks the slide whistle at 0:20 might indicate this is set to a young audience. Gotta start simple somewhere.

    Its rather too simplistic this demonstration. At the start they refer to the phosphate-ribose backbone, as a phosphate and a sugar, which is clearly wrong as there are many forms of these two substances the sugar involved is a ribose sugar, or a pentose. It also did not explain why it is a helix, and what form of helix it actually is, which is a Alpha-Helix, as there are also different forms of this:
    Beta-Helix, and Zeta-Helix.

    It is correct in both the illustration and the explanation. From about 0.53 when the illustration shows A then G… they are not describing base pairing at this point (the A and G are from different ‘rungs’ of the helix).

    I’m with you. Definitely… A joins T and C joins G

    It’s weird that they got that right in the explanation but wrong in the illustration.
