Transposons 1

Transposons 1 is the first part of a five-part series and is actually a six minute YouTube video that describes DNA replication, the telomere problem, and how telomerase fixes this problem at the ends of the chromosomes. There is nothing about transposons in this video.

It`s amazing how telomeres can explain our natural life clock. In this way, the replication series "destroy" the full extended chromosomic DNA. So, flies can live longer with incorporation of telomerase. This fact becomes to a long list of studies about "eternity" life and substances for skin maintance.

Technical Remarks:

Good video. Easy explanation of the DNA machine.
