What is DNA: DNA is a molecule that has the genetic information needed for the development and function of living organisms. DNA is made out of 4 nucleotides such as adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). These nucleotides are arranged in a certain order to determine the functions of an organism. DNA has two strands of nucleotides that are twisted around each other to make a double helix. Hydrogen connects the nucleotides on one strand to their matches on the other strand. Adenine and thymine (A-T) and guanine and cytosine (G-C) are pairs.
What does DNA do: DNA has the genetic information that controls the development and function of an organism. It provides information for the cells of an organism such as eye color, height, hair color, etc. DNA also plays a role in cell division, which happens during mitosis. DNA gives cells information needed to develop an organism.
How easily does DNA copy itself: DNA replicates itself when the cell unwinds the DNA molecule and uses each strand as something to build another strand. It is a very accurate process, that almost can never fail.
What questions do I have: -Why do DNA defects take place? -How many DNA cells are in our bodies?
Answers I found to my questions: -DNA defects usually happen due to abnormal chromosomes. -The human body has 3.2 billion DNA cells
Good work posting a picture of your edible DNA with what DNA is and what DNA does. You included some information on how DNA copies itself but it would be good to cite your sources as you rest heavily on them for your sentences. Consider showing how your model demonstrates the parts and functions of DNA. Also, consider creating more thoughtful questions about DNA that can be thoroughly researched.
