1. Draw a strand (and indicate 5' DNA, 3' DNA) multiple copies the nitrogen bases, again and again.
Label all major parts.
Give your sketch both the following sequence:
ACCTATGTCAGC
2. Draw a converted DNA molecule, as shown here to study or replicate.
Label the deoxyribose sugar and phosphate.
Use same color as in #1 of
A=T G=C
3. Draw a new DNA molecule being unzipped.
Label DNA helicase.
Draw one new single-strand segment to reflect the strand of DNA (the old strand).
4. Draw a single strand of your DNA molecule being copied.
Label DNA Polymerase.
Use a different color for the rush of the new strand.
5. Illustrate your two identical strands (DNA) after the fragments have been placed together.
Label you segments.
Represent your "old" DNA strands and your "new" DNA strands with different colors.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of dna replication activity worksheet.
