the hydrogen bonds make it easy to split apart in order to replicate

Been out of school for a while, but ill take a stab at it. if you think of dna as a ladder that has been twisted around you can look at the footsteps as the hydrogen bonds that hold the base pairs together. these bonds break. Each half of the strand is then used as a template to make another half to be bonded to it. that results in two identical dna strands comming from a single one. sorry i didnt retain the knowledge to tell you more in depth the process of it, but i hope this helps a little

The best I can think of is....
It's structure is called a double helix...both sides look the same so if you think about it...by them looking the same they can replicate.
