Except for some twins, each living thing has its own unique DNA. You have your own DNA, but it repeats patterns from your parents'. From your DNA, scientists can identify not only you, but also your relatives. That includes your parents, grandparents, and more distant relatives — their DNA just wouldn't be quite as similar to yours.
中文译文
除了一些双胞胎外,每种生物都有其独特的DNA。你有自己的DNA,但它重复了你父母的模式。从你的DNA中,科学家不仅可以识别出你,还可以识别出你的亲属。这包括你的父母、祖父母以及更远的亲戚——只是他们的DNA与你的DNA相似度不那么高。
