Where on the red carpet are the Pop Stars?

Who is in the middle of the red carpet?

How do those in the middle of the red carpet pair up?

DNA has a Double Helix Shape

10

Nucleotide:A subunit of DNA that contains a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base.

11

What are the three parts of a Nucleotide?

a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogenous base.

What part of the nucleotide is the Nitrogenous base?

A, T, G, and C are the 4 nitrogenous bases.

A

A

G G

T

T

C C • Guanine with Cytosine

in 3 hydrogen bonds

• Adenine with Thymine in 2 hydrogen bonds.

• Cytosine and Thymine are single rings and small.

Why is A only with T and G only with C?

• Adenine and Guanine are double rings and big.

Where is the co

de?

14

DNA Code

• The code is carried in the sequence of nitrogenous bases that are on the inside.

15

DNA Code

• adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T)• guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C)
