- chromosomes, DNA, and genes are all something that get passed down genetically as well as all three manipulate the organism’s characteristics, visibly and non-visibly.
- a) in our model the licorice represents the sugar/phosphate backbone
- b) the marshmallows represent the bases. Green = guanine (G), Pink = cytosine (C), Yellow = adenine (A), Orange = thymine (T)
- This activity helped me understand the structure of DNA because we had to make a model and it was a hands-on activity. It also helped me understand the structure of DNA because we had clear instructions on how to create the model.
