In this activity, students build a paper model of DNA and use their model to explore key structural features of the DNA double helix. This activity can be used to complement the short film The Double Helix, which examines some of the evidence that James Watson and Francis Crick used to determine the double-helical structure of DNA. KEY CONCEPTS.
Build a Paper Model of DNA. Fill in the names of the bases on the model shown to the right, or use the detailed model that shows all the atoms in each nucleotide (back side of paper). Cut out the model. Fold all long creases first.
Build a Paper Model of DNA. Fill in the names of the bases on the model shown to the right, or use the detailed model that shows all the atoms in each nucleotide (back side of paper). Cut out the model. Fold all long creases first. Solid grey lines should be visible on the crease.
DNA Paper Model. What is DNA? DNA is perfect for the storage and readout of genetic information. This information is stored in the sequence of Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine - also called A, T, G, and C. Each helix has a backbone made of alternating deoxyribose and phosphate groups.
25 paź 2022 · Making a model of DNA is a great way to learn about how this magnificent structure builds our genes and determines our genetic makeup. DNA is made up of sugars and phosphates that control the color of our eyes, our height, and so much more. Using common household materials, you can make your own model combining science and crafts for a great ...
16 lip 2023 · Building a paper model of DNA is a captivating way to understand its structure and gain a deeper appreciation for its role in life. Whether you’re a student studying biology or simply curious about genetics, this hands-on activity offers a memorable learning experience.
7 lis 2019 · In this activity, students build a paper model of DNA and use their model to explore key structural features of the DNA double helix. This activity can be used to complement the short film The Double Helix. Students use paper nucleotides printed on card stock to build a single-stranded DNA sequence assigned by their instructor.
