Discovery & Invention, Period 5, 26 Mar '08
The classroom looked normal enough, helix model, bananas, glassware and cardboard boxes on desks and one more enthusiastic than normal geneticist standing in the front.
"Deoxtribonucleaic acid," said Mohinder brightly. "Our DNA is the building bloc that defines us, who we are. At least that part of us which is physically determined. DNA is organised into genes which make up chromosones that form a genome that describes an individual who is an example of the variation within a population." He took a breath.
"Adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine," the words rolled off his tongue "are the chains that link us with every other living thing. And although the human genome - and that of several other species - have been mapped there are so many opportunities ready to be explored." Mohindervoiceovered spoke for several minutes before bringing himself to a halt with a grin and a, "Sorry, this happens to be my field."
"You may have been wondering about the bananas," Mohinder said. "They're here for you to extract DNA proteins from, not to eat." Hopefully he hadn't need to have said that at the start.
[OCD is up!]
