discovery of DNA, assignments 3 and 4 for biology

 have a look at the notes on DNA, the slideshow on DNA as well as the video explanation of nucleotides and how they fit. Watch my video on DNA






Here is another video from youtube which explains these concepts in more detail.


Two assignments  in MS teams

Assignment 3 - 15 points

SUMMARIZE THE MAIN POINTS OF DNA NOTES 10 points

8-9 :  you include all the main points and you show excellence and creativity. your assignment is in colour and inked

5-7 :  you include most of the main points and your assignment is handed in. It is a good start and  You needed more time to finish this.

Assignment 4. MAKE A MODEL of DNA 10 points
