DNA and Protein Synthesis

We started our DNA strand with our backbone, its base pairing and nucleotides. (Blue pipe cleaner = 5-carbon sugar backbone, pink beads = phosphates, yellow beads = adenine, blue beads = thymine, purple beads = guanine, green beads = cytosine). This picture represents the completion of the hydrogen bonding. The DNA forms a double helix…
