So im wondeing if dna is just . how things are made . so if i picked up 2 sticks and put them together with string in only the middle and left it wind comes and moves it or something falls and moves it or somebody walks on it causes it to just take lie i 

I don't understand. Can you rephrase, please?

Double-stranded DNA is joined by hydrogen bonds, so it can be zipped / unzipped quite easily in aqueous media.

That's why cells have devised mechanisms to hide some segments with bunches of protein when the gene had better not be expressed.

I don't know if that's what's causing you trouble.
