Isn't that obvious? [It's a sincere question, and he looks to her for an answer.]

[She raises her eyebrows for a moment, turning her head slightly to the side. ] It... I mean... We're a lot more similar than most people think we are.

[Holding up a finger for a moment, she goes shuffling through a couple other films before pulling out one to set next to her first. At first glance, there's not many differences between the locations of the bands, but some of the bands are significantly thicker than others and thinner as well.]

Compare the plant to me in these terms.

[Peeta looks between the two sheets. He can recognize the similarities and the differences with a precision that most can't, a natural inclination to observation of details when it comes to lights and shadows that is uncommon. But, after a moment, he looks at her again.]

I don't understand.

[phylogenetics]

See how they're different? [She places her fingers on the same spot on the sheet, where there's a clear lack of a band on the human side.] But.

[Delores slides her hand down to another set of bands where the two sheets are almost identical.] We also have a lot in common.

[He watches her fingers at first, but then looks away before she's even finished demonstrating. Peeta has already seen and absorbed all the similarities and differences. Even though that's not what he doesn't understand, he waits for her to finish before replying.]

I see the differences, but how does that represent us and plants?

[phylogenetics]

Well, I use proteases to cut the DNA at specific markers and then run electricity through it. The bigger pieces don't travel as far and the smaller pieces travel much farther. So if we were exactly like plants, these should be identical.

[She smiles slightly, hoping Peeta's starting to catch on.]

[hijackedbread]

[Have the same confusion as before.]

What is DNA?
