DNA Replication (Updated)

UPDATE: We have videos dubbed in Spanish and Portuguese using an artificial voice via aloud.area120.google.com/ to increase accessibility. See our Amoeba Sisters en Español channel www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Njo3LBy53cOPngz6ArV8Q and Amoeba Sisters em Português www.youtube.com/channel/UCYTQPX2X_mXe0ZMPi0fXxbg Want to help translate our subtitles in any language? Learn more here www.amoebasisters.com/pinkys-ed-tech-favorites/com… We hope you like our newly updated DNA replication vid! So what's different? You will find the script to be almost the same, except with a little more detail: we included topoisomerase activity and better explained leading and lagging strands. (Again, remember, there is still much detail to explore beyond this video!) Our art has also improved as we continue to practice and no MS Paint this time ha! You can see our milestones here: www.amoebasisters.com/milestones.html Also, no worries, we try to not delete old videos. The old DNA replication video, if you prefer it, is still here: https://youtu.be/5qSrmeiWsuc

The fact you made a 11 minute video to explain what my teacher explained in 2 hours....

Me, 82 year-old, high school grad, fascinated, self-educated, life-long learner...loving you for your amazing work.

As a medical student, I love this woman, always saving my life with these amazing videos. THANK YOU

I just love how the audience is growing up with the videos, a few years ago we were all doing either IB or AP and now we're coming back to this in college. Thank you for raising us amoebas! :D

Me in Middle School- Laughing at these videos. Me in High School - Appreciating these videos for saving my life to prepare for exams. Me in College: Literally thanking these videos for saving my entire degree.

That moment when realize you're already in gradschool and still watching this to prepare for exams

I wish I’d watched this before I got a C on my biology exam… which I today gotta correct to an A. The fact you were able to explain this whole process in 8 minutes and my teacher couldn’t in literal HOURS of lessons is just amazing. Props to you!

It's the way that I'm finished with my first semester of uni and my professor never explained why and how DNA polymerase only goes in a 5 prime to 3 prime direction. I learned an entire semester of biology in this one video and I'm beyond grateful or else I would have failed my exams. ㅠㅠ Thanks so much for the awsome video!! <333

learned more from this than from my teacher with a PhD

This really helped me with the whole lagging strand thing.

Right now, I’m a 9th grader studying for an honors bio unit exam, but I have a feeling I’ll be coming back to these videos in college! Your videos are always super helpful, especially for me since I’m a visual learner and struggle to understand concepts without pictures and graphics. Please keep doing what you’re doing! Update: I got a 98 on my exam! Thanks so much Amoeba Sisters!

Any other college students here ??? :)

I remember my 9th-grade biology class using these videos to teach us. Currently reviewing for a DNA test in a college Microbiology class. Still just as useful as ever!

LITERALLY GOT A MICROBIOLOGY EXAM TOMORROW AND WATCHED THESE IN HIGH SCHOOL BUT STILL HANDY IN COLLEGE

This video literally helped me out for a test I have tomorrow. I didn't get a thing the teacher said while I was in class and yet I paid attention. The simplicity and clarity that this video had, made me forget that this test was going to be hard. It literally took all my stress out just seeing that it's that simple (I know it's more complex but I got it). Props to the ones who created and edited this video. You made my day. Keep it up :)

I love the way she uses these little game characters to explain it. Really helps. ❤

Amoeba sisters: exist My science teacher: Y. E S

why am i paying a university to test me on this when you can watch it on youtube for free....
