When scientists clone a gene, they isolate and make exact copies of just one of an organism's genes. Cloning a gene usually involves copying the DNA sequence of that gene into a smaller, more easily manipulated piece of DNA, such as a plasmid. This process makes it easier to study the function of the individual gene in the laboratory.
To me a deep thinker is someone who is an innately curious, and deeply insightful. He/she has a profound understanding of the right questions to ask in the face of both reality and the unknown. He/she is not afraid to see reality and what is there before him/her.
My psychologist told me that I was insightful and a deep thinker. What does he mean? I've always thought of myself to always over think things but sometimes people see me as 'slow' which I'm assuming would mean the opposite, but I think they think I'm slow because my mind is elsewhere during certain situations.
