Graham Kapowsin Module 11 DNA Structure Worksheet PLEASE REMEBER THIS IS A HIGH SCHOOL ASSIGNEMNT SO DONT ANSWER TO COMPLICATED
One of the main objectives of Module 11 is to teach about the molecular structure of DNA. This worksheet is designed to do that. Before you begin, please make sure you’ve watched the following videos, as they contain information that will help you finish this assignment:
DNA and RNA
Replication, Transcription, Translation
When you are ready, download the PDF file by clicking right here, complete in Notability, and bring back here to turn in.
Note:
Purines have TWO rings in their structure (these are adenine and guanine)
Pyrimidines have ONE ring in their structure (thymine (uracil in RNA) and cytosine)
Question 10 asks you to draw the basic structure of a nucleotide. Look at the examples in the videos when I drew the phosphate, sugar, and base.
Question 11 asks you to basically pretend you are replicating DNA and making a new DNA strand (hint: you should not write U anywhere in the answer)
On the last page, in step 3, the blank spot is for you to write in how many hydrogen bonds there are between A and T, and between C and G (just count the number in the drawing)
