How To Make A 3d Model Of Dna. Lay down newspaper to protect your work surface and pour paint into plastic cups. I enjoyed making this model and i hope the same for you materials used paperlevel.
By linking genes found in dna to the physical characteristics expressed by those genes and then modeling them in 3d the researchers may be able to one day accurately depict the bearer of a dna. Cut a 24 inch long piece of the lighter gauge wire. Cut an 18 inch long piece of the heavier gauge wire.
You will need 24 red balls 24 white balls 13 blue balls 13 green balls 13 yellow balls and 13 orange balls.
Two colors to be the phosphate and sugar on the sides of the dna i almost always pick black and white but it is up to you four colors in two groupings to be the bases. Just attach the bases like steps of a ladder between the two strands twist them and your dna model is ready. You will need 24 red balls 24 white balls 13 blue balls 13 green balls 13 yellow balls and 13 orange balls. Remember dna always twists to the right.
