During the processes of DNA replication and transcription, the two strands of the DNA molecule separate, or "unzip", so that the two strands can be copied by DNA nucleotides, or the anti-sense strand of DNA can be transcribed by mRNA.

How do you compare DNA to a zipper?
Like a zipper a DNA molecule has two "spines" and jutting out "teeth" that lock together to join the spines. When DNA replicates, it "unzips".
What theory accounts for the method by which a molecule of DNA makes a copy of itself?
zipper theory
How Can I Compare new double-stranded DNA models with an original DNA Model?
Please elaborate. If you mean how to compare the replicated DNA molecule with the original, there is no point because the replicated DNA molecule is an EXACT copy of the original.
How do I compare DNA to find family?

DNA is described as a zipper or corkscrew unwound it looks like a ladder of what substances are rails and rungs composed?
The rails of DNA are made up of pairs of sugars and phosphates. The middle of the strand of DNA or the rungs are made of nucleotides and bases of codons, such as ATCG base pairs. The bond that holds the DNA together is a hydrogen bond.

Why is the structure of a DNA molecule often is described as a zipper?
because the shape is a double helix. so it looks like a zipper and connects to each other.
Why is the structure of a DNA molecule described as a twisted zipper?
because the shape is a double helix. so it looks like a zipper and connects to each other.
How would the DNA of the human compare to the DNA of the duck?
DNA is DNA it can not be changed.
Why must the DNA In a cell replication before the cell divides?
DNA replication begins when the two sides of the DNA molecule unwind and seperate, like a zipper unzipping.
What theory accounts for the method by which a molecule of DNA makes a copy of itself?
zipper theory

They are the same. The DNA is the same everywhere in the body.
