DNA Structure Activity
Instructions:
1. Quickly cut out each of the phosphate, deoxyribose sugar, and base pieces.
2. First, match up 2 bases to their complementary pair, making sure the words are visible by you.
3. Attach a sugar to each base (dot to dot). Make sure they touch...don’t yet glue.
4. Attach a phosphate to each deoxyribose sugar (star to star). However, make sure that there is
a phosphate on the TOP LEFT and BOTTOM RIGHT of your DNA molecule. Make sure they
don’t touch...don’t yet glue.
5. Once your teacher checks your structure, you will receive nucleotides that are glued together.
Questions:
1. What are the three parts that make up the DNA nucleotide?
Phosphate, deoxyribose sugar, and the base make up the DNA nucleotide.
