- It is composed of cells
- It reproduces/it undergoes reproduction
- It grows and develop
- it responds to stimuli
- it has hierarchy in terms of cells, tissues, organs

Who discovered the structure of the DNA
James Watson and Francis Crick
Who made the discovery of the structure of DNA possible?
Dr Rosalind Franklin but died early
Who discovered the cell (explain how)
It was discovered by Robert Hooke through a microscope, he saw a honeycomb type of structure and named it cell because it reminded him of the cells inhabited by monks living in a monastery
