Question
A student built a model of DNA to show its helical structure in an attempt to display their knowledge of the chemical properties of the 3D structure. In fact, the teacher asked the entire class to create similar models. However, the teacher asks the students to incorporate a biological explanation for how each DNA molecule uniquely codes for different traits. Which component should be incorporated in the student models in order to meet the teacher's expectation for illustrating DNA's ability to code for unique traits?
Responses
A The DNA models should have different A:T, C:G ratios.The DNA models should have different A:T, C:G ratios.
B The DNA models should have unique nucleotide sequences.The DNA models should have unique nucleotide sequences.
C The DNA models should have different angles of curvature for the helical strands.The DNA models should have different angles of curvature for the helical strands.
D The DNA molecules should have alternating ribose and deoxyribose as the sugars in the backbone.The DNA molecules should have alternating ribose and deoxyribose as the sugars in the backbone.

Answer 1

B. The DNA models should have unique nucleotide sequences.
