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
