2 Brainstorm DN A CSI Jurassic Park

3 General Description of DNA DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid DNA is the blueprint for life on our planet DNA has a spiral shape called a double helix –It looks like a ladder that has been twisted Genes are codes in our DNA –DNA ~ Chromosome ~ Genes

4 Review What does DNA stand for? What does DNA look like (use the scientific name for its shape)?

5 DNA Intro: Jurassic Park FACTFICTION

6 DNA Structure DNA is a Nucleic Acid (polymer) The monomers for DNA are nucleotides –Adenine - A –Guanine - G –Cytosine - C –Thymine - T

7 DNA Structure Sides of the ladder are made of sugars and phosphates (backbone/support) The rungs of the ladder are nitrogen bases (represented by the letters A, G, C, T) A  T –(Always Together) C  G

8 Review What type of molecule is DNA? What supports the shape of DNA? What bases go together?
