When an offspring is produced from 2 parents this is called... sexual reproduction
Name the six characteristics of living things. 1. It reproduces 2. It grows and develops 3. It responds to stimuli or its environment 4. It has DNA 5. It has cells 6. It uses food for energy
What are cells? The basic unit of life. Membrane covered structures that make up all living things.
Where is DNA found? Usually in the nucleus of cells. In all living things.
What is a double helix? The shape in which DNA can be found. It looks like a "twisted ladder".
