The Genome System

This honestly has had to be the most boring presntation in my entire life. The hardest part about it was staying awake. She is a very intelligent lady and knows what shes talking about. The only problem is that shes talking too much. It took all period for her to do her introduction. Once she started I already knew that this was going to be the longest hour in my entire life.

However she did have some great facts about the genome system and DNA. DNA is the universal code of life. A genome is the total inhertaince for both your parents. Meaning that whatever words you use to describe is only 1/10 of what you really are made up of. I think that is so cool because people often ask "which words decribes you" and the true answer is more than what you can possibly think of. Africa is the orgin of life and had it not been for our ancestors there would be no life on earth.

She also dicussed how we are the future and that her life is on our hands. That we are soon going to be the doctors, lawyers and future politician. That made me think that we can change the world. Whether it be discovering the cure to AIDS or inventing flying cars. Its up to use to decide what were going to do with it and to me thats the best part of it all.
