THANK YOU FOR ENCOURAGING ME TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW.  I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT JUNK DNA BEFORE. 

YOU COULD ADD ANOTHER OPINION QUESTION:  E.G. IT’S CLEAR THAT GENES AND DNA PLAY A ROLE IN DETERMINING HAIR AND EYE COLOR BUT HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK THEY INFLUENCE PERSONALITY AND BEHAVIOR?  DO YOU THINK NATURE (BIOLOGY) OR NUTURE (HOW SOMEONE IS RAISED) IS MORE IMPORTANT IN DETERMINING HOW PEOPLE ACT?

REGARDING YOUR GRAMMAR, PLEASE SEE MY COMMENTS BELOW.

When  the notion of what a gene was became more concrete and who showed genes are made of DNA, that is a chemical that allowed genes to be passed from parent to child? WHEN DID THE NOTION OF WHAT A GENE WAS BECOME MORE CONCRETE…

What is involve in producing traits, e.g., eye color or hair and makes up the enzymes and hormones and membranes? WHAT IS INVOLVED (PAST PARTICIPLE)…

How many genes humans have? HOW MANY GENES DO HUMANS HAVE?

What is regulatory elements and what they are used for? WHAT ARE…ELEMENTS…

What is Junk DNA and what geneticist expect for Junk DNA?…WHAT DO GENETICISTS EXPECT…

● Questions that elicit opinions:

What comes into your mind when you face the word of ‘Junk DNA’?..THE PHRASE (NOT WORD), ‘JUNK DNA’.

FOR THE MOST PART, THIS LOOKS GOOD.  HOWEVER, WHERE IS YOUR OPINION QUESTION?  YOU LAST QUESTION COULD BE ANSWERED WITH A RELATIVELY SHORT ANSWER AND THEN THE CONVERSATION COULD BE OVER.  THE IDEA IS TO WRITE SOMETHING THAT WILL LEAD TO A LONGER CONVERSATION.  FOR EXAMPLE,  DO YOU THINK THAT THE SIZE OF THE GROUP IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CREATING INVENTIONS?  WHAT IF YOU HAVE A LARGE GROUP OF UNEDUCATED PEOPLE WHO ARE FOCUSED JUST ON SURVIVAL?  WHAT OTHER FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO CREATIVITY?  DO YOU THINK CREATIVITY IS SOMETHING THAT ONE IS BORN WITH OR SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN LEARN AND DEVELOP?

I think the transportation system in my country, South Korea, is great. We can go anywhere by any kinds of transportation. Thus, my government recommends to use transportation instead of people’s own car. What you can go anywhere even if you don’t have a car makes you feel comfortable.

…

I really like what she said about transportation, and that is great because we know that finding parking is not easy. In addition, using transportation will makes u save your money because you will never get tickets.
