Voice 1: They did know that the chain of DNA is made of four important chemical substances. Scientists gave each of these substances short names. Their short names are A, T, C, and G. The order of these letters, or substances tells a body how to grow and act. It is called a DNA code.
声音1:他们知道DNA由4种重要的化学物质构成。科学家给这些物质取了简短的名字。分别是A、T、C和G。这些字母或这些物质的顺序决定了一个人的生长和行为模式。这被称为DNA密码。
