Q

Cross links

A

Each base forms cross links to a base on the other strand this keeps it to DNA strands tightly well together

Q

Which bases parer up with which basis

A

A always pays up with T and c always pays up with G this is called a complimentary base-pairing

Q

DNA division

A

DNA copies itself every time a cell divides so that each new cell still has full amount of the DNA

In order to copy itself the DNAs double helix must first unzip to form to single-strand
new nucletidos
The result is to double-stranded molecules of DNA that are identical to the original molecule of DNA
