DNA,, he said, is a thread like molecule made up of two strands of atoms. The strands linked by four kinds of bases. These bases, each a little group of animals, repre sents the four-letter alpha bet used to govern the ac tivity of every one of the 10 •million million cells of every human body. Each strand is made in the way that permits it to sepa rate from the other strand in the- DNA thread. It is impos sible -to ..duplicate the thread from which it parted. ; a c h of us, it all started when we became fertilized egg, Crick said, 'but I find that few people (Continued on a-18, Col. 4)
