It leads to our instincts / understanding of how animals grow and evolve to a level that Darwin could only dream of. The DNA molecule is really the real secret of life. It is a perfect system to store huge amounts of information that is necessary to create all kinds of creatures. DNA consists of an elongated molecule that spins round in a double spiral.
