How does the structure of dna enable it to perform its function?
DNA's unique structure enables the molecule to copy itself during cell division. When a cell prepares to divide, the DNA helix splits down the middle and becomes two single strands. These single strands serve as templates for building two new, double-stranded DNA molecules - each a replica of the original DNA molecule. ChaCha!

About DNA
DNA is the source of our genetic material, and plays a central role in transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.
