00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:04.999
Ladies and gentlemen,
00:00:05.001 --> 00:00:07.298
possibly the most important
scientific discovery...
00:00:07.003 --> 00:00:09.299
of the last century.
00:00:09.004 --> 00:00:11.399
The chromosome.
00:00:13.005 --> 00:00:15.499
Invisible to the naked eye,
00:00:16.006 --> 00:00:17.599
what we are,
00:00:17.007 --> 00:00:18.699
how we look,
00:00:19.008 --> 00:00:22.899
indeed in some cases
what we become,
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:24.999
depends on the number,
00:00:24.001 --> 00:00:27.199
and nature, of these
little blighters.
00:00:27.003 --> 00:00:29.399
We get... twenty-three
from mum,
00:00:30.005 --> 00:00:31.598
twenty-three from dad.
00:00:31.006 --> 00:00:33.599
Forty-six, in all.
00:00:33.007 --> 00:00:34.699
And...
00:00:34.008 --> 00:00:36.998
God help us if anything
goes wrong with them.
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:37.999
Now then,
00:00:38.001 --> 00:00:40.298
I want you to look
at the chromosomes...
00:00:40.003 --> 00:00:42.299
of a normal person.
00:00:46.004 --> 00:00:47.399
Afterwards,
00:00:47.005 --> 00:00:48.698
I shall want you to look
at those of someone...
00:00:48.007 --> 00:00:50.799
who appears to
be normal.
