Hank: You have more genes than me. 

[Question to Hank: Can someone have the most DNA?]

Vic: H-How is that possible?

Hank: Because I have a Y chromosome and I think you have two Xs.

Vic: Oh, I see, so it's-

Hank: And my Y chromosomes have fewer genes than X chromosomes, so you have more than me. 

Vic: Whoa! 

Hank: In terms of number of genes.

Vic: But, DNA are literally being like this [twisting arms] would be like just -

Hank: Every cell. 

Vic [no longer twisting arms]: The biggest person -

Hank: Well not every cell. 

Vic: On Earth would have -

Hank: Actually, the vast majority of your cells don't have DNA, because they're red blood cells. 80% of your cells are red blood cells. 

Vic: My blood doesn't have DNA?

Hank: It doesn't have DNA.

Vic: Right, no, I know.

Hank: It can - (laughs)

(Both laughs.)

Vic: Right, I know. 

Hank: Yeah, and it's (laughs)

(Crew laughs.)

Vic: I know that.

Hank: Yeah, it's red blood cells are super small so that they can get into all little cracks and crevices and deliver the oxygen and so in order to be super small, they eject all of their organelles after they develop.

Vic: Can I ask you a question? 

Hank: Yes.

Vic: Is blood just free flowing? It's in your veins, right?

Hank: It's in your veins and your arteries and capillaries. 

Vic: But, it's not just floating around, there's no blood in my muscles if there's not a vein there. 

Hank: But there's, but there's always a capillary.

Vic: Am I a bag, Hank? 

Hank: We are kind of bags. 

Vic: I'm worries about that.

(Hank laughs.)

Vic: I'm feeling worried about that if I'm honest. 

Hank: If you want to see more of that, it's at YouTube.com/Complexly.
