DNA Structure Lab Discussion

​Do you remember?

We made a strand of DNA!

You answered some questions for your lab.

If you all participate in this discussion, it counts for the reflection question assignment. So answer each question seriously! Don't just guess. Make corrections to your answers.

Draw

Make a strand of RNA.

Label it with the appropriate nucleotide bases.

You can use different colors or write letters next to each base.

Poll

Can you explain the structure of DNA?

• Yes I definitely can explain all parts of DNA

• I can explain the nitrogen bases and the bonds in DNA

• I can explain just the nitrogen bases of DNA

• I am confused about it still

​Congratulations!

You finished the lab. Keep your papers to study from (unless we decided to collect it).

If you still need to review parts of DNA, watch the Amoeba Sister's video on the agenda.
