Presentation transcript:

These letters represent the nitrogen bases on one strand of DNA: GGCTATCCA. What letters would form the other strand of the helix? CCGATAGGT

How do parents pass traits such as eye color to their offspring Parents pass DNA that coes for the proteins that determine eye color.

What do you think would happen if the DNA code in a daughter cell did not match the code in the parent cell? The cell would not have the genetic information to carry out its normal life activities.

Now I know that the genetic code of nitrogen bases specifies What type of protein the cell makes.
