The structure of DNA lends itself easily to DNA replication. Each side of the double helix runs in opposite (anti-parallel) directions. The beauty of this structure is that it can unzip down the middle and each side can serve as a pattern or template for the other side (called semi-conservative replication).
Rupture of the uterus during pregnancy or labor is a serious emergency that can be fatal to both mother and fetus.
