DNA Bracelets

1. What is the genetic code?

The genetic code is how DNA stores the genes information, it is a series of letters that represent different bases. A (adenine) G (guanine) C (cytosine) and T (thymine) when these letters are put together in threes they create a DNA triplet.

2. What is RNA for?

RNA is a small strand that carries information of how to create protein from one gene to ribosomes, it fits through the pores in the nuclear membrane and carries the triplets or Codons.

3. How does your bracelet model the genetic code?

Each colour represents a base letter (A,T,G, or C)

Three colours together create a DNA triplet and each triplet represents a letter in the alphabet, helping to spell out my name in froot loops.
