i860, mr mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. it is because of small things called genes(基因) in our body. in 1953, two scientists, watson and crick, found out that those small parts are really messages. theyre written in the dna with a special language. in 1961, another two scientists found the first word that they could understand in that language. it shows how
