DNA structure activity

Using what you know about the structure of DNA, make a diagram of a strand that contains the following sequence of six N-bases:

Adenine (A)

Guanine (G)

Thymine (T)

Cytosine (C)

Guanine

Thymine

Use Basic Shapes (Autoshapes Word menu) to represent the three subunits of the nucleotide: phosphate, sugar, N-base. Don’t forget to draw the bonds between the nucleotides. The handout I provided in class will be helpful here.

What would be the approximate length of the six “rung” strand?

What would be the length of the total (46 strand) amount of DNA/cell?
