DNA Model


The DNA model is when we made the model out of tube things. We had to make the model and match the different proteins in order to understand them better. My group took a couple of pictures of the model and here they are. The DNA drawing (below) is what we made in class. Key is below pic.

 A-adenine

C-cytosine

G-guanine
T-thymine
In DNA, A will always be paired with T and C will be paired with G. Hydrogen bonds hold the two strands of DNA together and plays a very important role. DNA has three parts, a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base and a nucleotide. When you see sugar and phosphate, that is the back bone of the DNA and they are bonded to hold it all together. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid
