DNA molecule is like a twisted ladder. The horizontal bars are made up of A-T, T-A, G-C,C-G. (A for Adenine, T for Thiamine, G for guanine and C for Cytosine.) So if we brake the ladder longitudinally, we have sequences of A, T, G, C, and corresponding sequences of T,A,C,G on other half. So we can easily make two copies.
