Why Your Earwax is Wet or Dry

Have you ever wondered why some people have wet and sticky earwax while others have dry and flaky earwax? In this video, Alex Dainis explores the fascinating link between earwax and DNA! Earwax is not just a random bodily secretion; it's actually a genetic trait influenced by our DNA. The genes responsible for earwax formation can have different variations in their sequence, determining whether your earwax is wet or dry.  Join us on a journey through the world of genetics as we dive into the intriguing science behind earwax production. We'll decipher the importance of the G and A genes, and how having two copies of each gene from our parents can result in GG, GA, or AA genotypes.
