We make DNA with some marshmallows in our class.
How does this model show:
-
- what DNA is- our genetic code and is often found in the form of chromatin.
- what DNA does- it allows everyone to be unique and diverse. It controls how cells function, reproduce and die.
- how easily DNA can copy itself- It shows how DNA can reproduce using only half of a helix.
- What further questions do you have after building this model?
- What answers can you find to your questions?
How do cells know what their job is?
Genes determine what cells should do.
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.. 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.
