Edible DNA Model

  1. What is DNA: DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. DNA’s is shaped as a double helix, that continuously wraps around itself. the sides of the “ladder” are small sugar-phosphate molecules.
  2. What does DNA do: DNA carries genetic information through the cell using the linear sequence of nucleotides. Each nucleotide is composed of one of four nitrogen-containing nucleobases: Cytosine (C), Guanine(G), Adenine(A), Thymine(T).
  3. How does DNA copy itself: DNA makes copies of itself during cell division. two strands are separated and then each strand’s complementary sequence is recreated by an enzyme called DNA polymerase.                                                       See the source image

  1. 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 in your own words. Good job!
