Note: You could also use my steps on the right of my drawing for a simple version of how to draw a DNA molecule.
Equitment:Pencil, paper and colouring pencils
Aim: To draw a simple and easy DNA molecule.
Method:
1. Draw one swirly line doing as many as 3-6 turns Than outline the swirly line.
2. Repeat the first step, Just opposite the first step of lines.
3. In between the opposing lines in the circles draw 3-5 lines so basically 6-12 because you want it to me opposite lines.
4. Then in the in-between lines add a little | so it makes to little boxes.
5. Then fill the lines in step 1 and 2 with blue.
6. In the inner lines or boxes in step 3 and 4, In every second line color green in the left side and yellow on the right till you have done every second line.
7. Do the same as step six just color the ones that you have not colored
in with red on the left side and orange on the right, And there you are a simple and easy DNA molecule.
Observation: While drawing the DNA molecule I found it better to use color as it adds to the drawing and really makes it pop.
Conclusion: It is just a simple and easy drawing of a DNA model, And I think looks pretty good.
The video I used to draw my DNA molecule link below
https://youtu.be/E3rkEJIETsU
An easy step you could do is :
Not add color and just use the first four steps.You could also just follow the steps of my piece of paper which I drew on.
What I could do to make it better next time?
1. Add a diagram to show what everything means
2. Try different drawings of DNA molecule using different sites
3. Try a 3d drawing
4. Video me drawing it
DISCUSSION:
What is DNA and What is it make of?: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), Is made up of repetitive units called nucleotides. DNA is the same in all living things and can be known as a double helix which is described to look like a twisted ladder. Nucleotides are compromised of sugar and phosphate, These sides are linked up by chemicals called nucleotides bases. The bases are made up of adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G) These make pairs of 2 that always go together with A and T and C and G.
What does DNA do?: DNA carries the instructions needed for an organism/offspring to grow, survive and reproduce. To carry out these functions, DNA arrays must be transformed into messages that can be used to produce proteins, which are the complicated molecules that do most of the work in our bodies.
Who discovered DNA?: In the late 1800s, DNA was recognized first by a biochemist named Frederich Miescher. Almost a century later researchers identified the structure of DNA and obtained its central relevance to biology.
What is the DNA double helix?: Scientist uses the term "double helix" to describe DNA's winding, two-stranded chemical structure. This shape - which looks much like a twisted ladder - gives DNA the power to pass along biological instructions with great precision.
FACTS:
If you unraveled all the DNA molecules in your body and placed them end to end, it would stretch to the Sun and back several times.
DNA is organized into structures called chromosomes within the cell.
DNA and RNA are the two types of nucleic acids the code for genetic information.
