Define the term DNA and explain the four different varieties of nucleotide base molecules that are a part of it. Be sure to discuss how these molecules pair together and create the larger sequences that make up our individual genetic codes.
What will be an ideal response?
Students' answers will vary but should include an understanding that DNA is the two strands of molecules that twist around each other, connected by a series of nucleotide bases. These bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine) pair together (A with T and G with C) to create approximately 3 billion pairs of nucleotide bases that make up the genetic code (genome), which is a set of instructions that determines which traits are inherited
