A student used posters board to construct this model of a section of DNA.

Which statement describes this model of DNA?

• The model is inaccurate because the base pairs are incorrect.

• The model is accurate because it contains correctly paired bases.

• The model is accurate because it shows each base splitting to form a double helix.

• The model is inaccurate because some typical bases in DNA are missing.

Four different nucleotides ar eused as building blocks of DNA. Which of the following can be used to distinguish one nucleotide from another?

• The nitrogenous base

• The shape of the deoxyribose sugar

• The length of the phosphate group

• The type of fatty acid

The completed DNA puzzle/model resembles a

• rubber band

• ladder

• egg

• spiral
