GRADE 10 SCIENCE
DLP 2: DNA STRUCTURE
Objective: Identify the proper arrangement of DNA subunits and nitrogenous base pairs set in different colors.
Materials: Coloring materials, writing instruments
Procedure:
Create your own model of a DNA strand using recyclable materials or things found at home. Your model must
represent the proper arrangement of DNA showing the subunits and nitrogenous base pairs.

Cite why you used the chosen materials to make your DNA model. Relate the materials to the parts of DNA with
the same characteristics.

Properly identify the nitrogenous base pairing present in a DNA molecule. Label the DNA structures using the
following letters and colors.

Cytosine (C) – Red

Guanine (G) – Green
Adenine (A) – Blue
Thymine (T) – Yellow
Phosphate group (P)- Purple
Ribose group (R) – Brown
GUIDE QUESTIONS;
