In Science class, my partner and I (Raiyah) created an edible DNA model. It represents the double helix form that most DNA takes. The rule for DNA is
A always binds with T, G with C, T with A and C with G.
Here are the steps we took to create the model:
- First we had to figure out the corresponding side of the given code ( TAC GTA TGA AAC)
- Next, we made sure we had the correct amount of each colour of marshmallow.
- After, we collected our other materials (Twizzlers and toothpicks)
- Finally, we assembled it.
It didn’t take us long to complete this. It becomes fairly easy if you figure out what you need before hand.
