Pros and cons of Utilising computer generated Imagery
Pros
The use of computer graphics helps in better understanding of a concept of cellular biology. Like in understanding of the DNA structure the graphics helps in understanding the replication of DNA through representation. Visuals representation helps in remembering of the concept and is an accurate representation along with almost accurate speed. The graphics can be represented by different colours and hence it helps in building clear distinction.
Cons
The hardware and software involved for creating the image is very expensive and requires lot of data processing for building the image. It requires highly skilled and experienced researchers to work on it and is precise only at face of using particular software.
Two questions regarding cellular biology that this kind of imagery can solve
One questions regarding cellular biology that it does not solve
Accuracy of the concept in terms of timing of the process and how exactly it turns the events is one question that the computer generated imagery.
