Ever wonder why people always compare certain traits you have to your parents or other people in your family? What exactly do people mean when they say that you have your mother's eyes or your father's nose? How exactly does the gene pool affect your life? The answers to all these questions came in the form of a discovery made fifty years ago. In April of 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick, both scientists at Cambridge, England, discovered the chemical structure for genes, Deoxyribonucleic Acid or DNA. They won the Nobel Prize in 1962 for their discovery. On October 6-13, British Council, Bangladesh commemorated the 50th year of Crick and Watson's discovery by holding an exhibition in Dhaka.
