TED Talk Response

Have you ever wondered what makes up out body, how it works and operates? For hundreds and maybe even thousands of years, people have been wondering the same thing, but only recently has a scientist named, Drew Berry has uncovered just a little bit more of how we work, at the molecular scale. In his TED talk, Drew Berry shows a series of animations of DNA moving about and replicating it' self and the construction of chromosomes. He gives his input about the animations and describes them flawlessly. In an animation that shows the replication process of DNA, he tells us that our bodies, at the molecular level, are no more than organic machines on an assembly line. To me, this is all fascinating, i had no idea that there was an assembly process for DNA, I thought that it just appeared out of no where. With the further advancement of this research, we will be able to uncover more and more of our molecular composition. To me, i think that this research is incredibly important because it can lead to advancements in medicines and medical treatment, it could even lead us to discover more diseases that we had no idea even existed! To discover more about our personal bodies, we must keep advancing in this field of biology.
