Sammy the Sperm

This is the story of Sammy Sperm, Sammy was born in the testicle. He spent a while there but he moved into his new home at the Epididymis. Sammy had a good life there and one day he decided to travel into Vagina land. So he hopped in his car and drove on the Vas Deferens highway. He drove over the bladder lake and made it to the seminal vesicle diner. Where he got nourished and ready to head out. But before he could go he had to make a spot at P.G. Acid Proofing so he could get into Vagina land.

Finally, he made it, he was in Vagina land, he was at the cervix station. Sammy decided to stop at Uterusville where he would stay for awhile. But one day Sammy noticed that there was another road so he went up Oviduct road where he met Ms. Ovum. She came from Ovary Island and they instantly came together like a happy couple.

The End.

Did the activity help me understand DNA structure?

Yes, peforming a hands-on analysis of a DNA structure gave me a better understanding on how a DNA structure works rather than looking at a visual image.
