Dig into the essential role that mitochondrial DNA played in the evolution of living things on Earth, and find out why it s still evolving. Inside our cells, each of us has a second set of genes completely separate from our 23 pairs of chromosomes. And this isn t just true for humans it s true of every animal, plant, and fungus on Earth. This second genome belongs to our mitochondria, an organelle inside our cells. So why are they so different from anything else in our bodies? Devin Shuman explores the purpose of mitochondrial DNA

The story of the mitochondria only gets crazier. After that first endosymbiosis event, which gave rise to all eukaryotes, the ancestor of one group of eukaryotes did the same thing again: they engulfed an ancestral cell of cyanobacteria, which could harvest sunlight to produce the exact same sugars mitochondria used to create ATP. These engulfed cells eventually became chloroplasts, and the three-cells-in-one organisms became the ancestors of all plant life.
And then, defying all probability, this happened AGAIN. Heterokonts are a type of algae that are hypothesized to have diverged from other plant ancestors before the acquisition of chloroplasts. In a surprising twist of fate, these heterotrophic cells appear to have engulfed a whole algae cell, chloroplasts and all, creating a four-in-one cell: an algae containing ANOTHER algae, which contains a photosynthetic bacterium, AND an ATP-synthesizing bacterium.

Look at the complexity of one cell. Then look at the even higher level of complexity of the creation that is created by the cells.
What does make you think, to make something work as complex as this, that nothing created everything? I do not talk about any religion.
But have some time reflecting on it. Because you know a building has it s builder, even though he might died years ago. What then about your eyes, heart and brain? And then even whole universe.
We people study and observe new things that were already thought up. may your eyes are open to even bigger things

Understand all holy books which says same thing about freedom from this perishable body where there is no death just immortality
First solve the problem of just creating another copy of conscious to be able to transfer the conscious into the metal body and thus becoming celestial beings to leave Earth and explore the universe
Because Carl Sagan once said there are many things in space which might collide with earth

Good video, but title is misleading.
Title: The genes you don't get from your parents
The video 2 minutes and 23 seconds later: Mitochondrial DNA is passed down from only one parent.
I get you're trying to make the title interesting so people will want to watch it, but this just BARELY avoids being a total lie, and only because the title is plural and mother is singular.

If I am in a plane that is accelerating downwards at 9. 8 m/s 2 then my normal force(weight) is been cancelled by the plane and hence I am at 0 g but will the force of gravity or with more complexity the curvature of space time caused by earth will still affect my age or will it still slower the acceleration of my TAU (time dimension) towards the future when I am at 0g.

WRONG, one inherits their Mitochondrial DNA from their maternal side. So yes, ALL GENES are inherited from ones parents.
Yes, I see it was mentioned correctly, later in the video, but then that makes the title incorrect.

reply

And all the bacteria we carry on an in our bodies also evolve based on their environment - us. We inherit them as well from our mothers and they keep growing and changing ultimately supporting the human body which they call home

Hey Ted-Ed!
What about a yearly short series that explains who the yearly nobel laureates are and explain what they researched? The Nobel prizes don't get as much recognition as the older times.

SCIENTIST: We can change Gene/DNA
Me: can my gene changed that can make me handsome, good figure, 250+ IQ, learning really fast, strong, creative, can u anything (not being lazy.
