Building a DNA Model: An Extra Credit Assignment
(160 points)
You are to build a model of a DNA molecule. For the full amount
of point, you model must have the following features:
* It has at least 9-base pair long, and that
* The beginning of a replication process (fork, free nucleotides!)
is shown.
* All of the basic features of the DNA structure, as listed in the
(see check-list below) are shown.
* The model is clearly labeled with a detailed key.
* The model is strong enough to be displayed in the class for the
entire semester;
Please note:
* A model with mistakes WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED for any
partial credit.
* You can work alone or share the work with one more student.
Good Luck!
