In this current event, I will be expressing and telling you about the new investigation that has answered very intensive questions. I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised. So come on, keep reading and experience a new adventure through the complex world of science.

This very profound and important investigation was led by Professor Ryszard Maleszka of the Australian College of Medicine, Biology and Environment. He was also accompanied by his colleagues from the German Cancer Institute in Heidelberg, Germany. Their work defines the first details and differences of the “environmentally influenced chemical marking of DNA”. Meaning the difference in DNA and how it affects nature. This specific marking is crucial to brain differences. Now many scientists can notice what genes have to be tuned in order to perform the differences of behaviors between animals and humans. “This finding is not only crucial, but far reaching, because the enzymes that mark DNA in the bee are also the enzymes that mark DNA in human brains,” said Professor Maleszka. This is another important statement that Maleszka pointed out. Due to the fact that the enzymes that mark DNA in the bee are the same with us, people can now deeply study the relationship and tuning of this spectacular find. Another intriguing fact was that more than 550 genes were different in the minds of the workers and the queen. As Malezska states, this is probably the biggest fact that represents the difference in behavior. This specific investigation, also answers one of the biggest questions in life. This study most importantly demonstrates how the outside world is “linked: to the DNA and how the environment can modify our personal “genetic hardware”. These risky and bizarre actions cannot be performed on humans and therefore, humble honey bees are pioneers of this important investigation.

In conclusion, Maleszka has performed one of the most important investigations so far. He has brought research to a whole new level. In my opinion, this specific study can answer life’s most challenging questions and make life easier.

Reflection

For me, this article or investigation, taught me a lot about our complex mind and how it works. Here are some of the main points that stuck in my mind after reading this article. Firstly, due to my curiosity, I researched facts about brain function to make this easier to understand. Secondly, I learned about genes and how the environment can potentially affect. I found this very interesting. Lastly, I learned everything possible about bees and humans and how they connect. This brings up another lesson in which animals are like humans. This is a fact that not many people respect and should be respecting. This topic would connect with animals and survival but at the same time brain function.

To conclude, this article is very catchy and interesting and can be associated mith many different aspects of life.
