    The document provides instructions for constructing a model of a DNA molecule. It includes: 1) Cutouts and materials needed like nitrogenous bases, phosphates, sugars, scissors, tape/glue. 2) Directions to color code the parts and assemble nucleotides by gluing the appropriate bases, phosphates, and sugars together. 3) A sequence of bases to use to form the left side of the DNA ladder and instructions to add the complementary bases upside down to form the right side, completing the double helix structure.

    DNA Modeling
    Objectives:

    Identify the components of a DNA molecule

    Construct a model of a molecule of DNA

    Materials:

    Cut outs of basic subunits of DNA

    Colorpen

    Scissors

    Tape or glue

    Procedure:
    1. Cut out all of the units needed to make the nucleotides
    2. Color code the nitrogenous bases, phosphorus, and sugars. Adenine = yellow,
    Guanine = green, Thymine = blue, Cytosine = red, Phosphate = brown, and
    Deoxyribose = . black
    3. Using the small squares and stars as guides, line up the bases, phosphates and
    sugars.

    4. Now glue the appropriate parts together forming nucleotides.

    Construct DNA model using the following sequence to form a row from top to bottom:
    Thymine

    Adenine

    Cytosine

    Guanine

    Adenine

    Cytosine

    1. Let this arrangement represent the left half of your DNA molecule.

    2. Complete the right side of the ladder by adding the complementary bases. You will
    have to turn them upside down in order to make them fit.
    3. Your finished model should look like a ladder.
    Guide Questions:

    Q1 What are the common parts of a nucleotide? __nitrogenous base, phosphate and
    deoxyribose sugar

    Q2 What is the one part of the nucleotide that differs among the other different
    nucleotides? ___the nitrogenous base _____________________

    Q3 List the different kinds of nitrogen bases___adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine

    Q4 Is there always going to be an equal number of adenine and thymine nucleotides in


    molecule? Why? ___Yes, adenine always and can only pair with thymine because
    of their chemical structure.____________

    Q5 Is there always going to be an equal number of guanine and cytosine nucleotides


    in a molecule? Why? _____ Yes, guanine can only pair with cytosine because of
    their chemical nature._____________

    The structure of the DNA is actually in a double helix arrangement as shown in Figure

    Double helix structure of DNA

    Q6 The sides of the ladder are made up of alternating __sugars___and____phosphate_____


    molecules. The steps (or rungs) of the ladder are made up of ___nitrogenous bases________
    held together by hydrogen bonds.
