What is DNA
Period of growth and development; cells spend most of there life here

The importance of mitosis
this forms 4 gamete cells with 23 chromosomes
What is Meiosis II
DNA replication
What is nucleotides bases interlock and form twisted ladder, unzips ladder and copies itself using proteins, and when its done zips back again
