400
Its shape is like a twisted ladder, or this more scientific sounding description.
What is a double helix?
400
the monomer is a nucleotide.
What is DNA and RNA?

500
It can be found in the nucleus.

The end result is two DNA molecules each with one NEW and one OLD strand.
What is semi-conservative replication?
500
One of the most deadly killers that is caused by unregulated cell growth
