Structure of DNA

Here is the video on Chromosome wrapping and DNA Synthesis
(Watch until 2:55)



Here is the link to the Nobel Prize Game on DNA Replication.


The following is a link to a reading on DNA's structure and composition.

The Guide- DNA's Chemical Composition and Structure.

Here are two images of the make-up of DNA.
In both of these images you can see the "ladder" sides are made up of a sugar and phosphate, where the central rungs are made up of nitrogen base pairs (A,G,T and C).



We will be constructing DNA models using one of the three methods:
  • Bead Jewelry
  • Origami or
  • Candy
The point of the activity is to be able to correctly identify the smaller parts that make up a strand of DNA.
