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.
Download templates for a set of paper models that can be cut from paper or cardstock and used for demonstrations of the fundamentals of DNA structure, DNA replication, and RNA translation. These materials and images are free for use under a CC By 4.0 license.
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.
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.
20 sie 2022 · Whether you make edible DNA models using candy or choose other everyday materials, you get hands-on experience with DNA structure and base pairing. Plus, if you’ve ever priced DNA model kits, you know you save a ton of money! Here are step-by-step instructions for construction three easy DNA models.
In this activity, you will build your own model to understand how DNA works. DNA is a simple molecule made up of four types of chemical building blocks called nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). In the 1950s, James Watson and Francis Crick, using data generated by Rosalind Franklin and other scientists, built a ...
This hands-on activity allows you to create your own paper model of a DNA double helix. This activity explores the structure of DNA in a paper-based form. You can also use the blank version to explore the pairing rules of DNA, by colouring in each base pair using the pairing rules printout.
