How do you make a homemade DNA model?

Answer 1

Well, there's many different ways to make them. If you have a Hobby Lobby in your town, they have a DNA kit you just put together while following directions. But if you want to do it the hard way, you need to get 2 different sizes of styrofoam balls, 2 different colors of paint, a bunch of popsicle sticks, and wire to make the frame out of. 1st- Paint all the smaller balls one color. 2nd-Paint the larger size of balls the other color. 3rd-Seperate the popsicle sticks down the middle coloring each side a different color. 4th-Twist the wire in the shape of a twisted ladder 5th-Put the balls on the twisted ladder alternating the larger and smaller balls each time. 6th-Insert the popsicle sticks in every larger balls, connecting them with the larger ball in front of it. 7th-Make a key with the colors you chose for Guanine, Thymine, Adenine, and Cytosine. THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE A DNA PROJECT!!!! ENJOY

Answer 2

Pipecleaners and beads should do the trick. just make a circle with the beads in the middle and pull one end through the beads. repeat with different colors for different chemicals. Adanine,guanine, thymine and cytozyne. just use the first letter of each word to decide a color

Answer 3

You can use an orange candy, like a big lollipop, for the sun. Do some research on the sizes and just coordinate them and make a circle around the sun by using some chicken wire or something. Make sure you label them and coordinate colors.

Answer 4

To make a homemade DNA model, you can use materials like colored beads or candies for nucleotides, pipe cleaners or toothpicks for the backbone, and pairs of nucleotides connected with hydrogen bonds. Arrange the materials in a double helix structure to represent the twisting shape of DNA. You can also use a cardboard or Styrofoam base to hold the model together.

Answer 5

I used twizlers, toothpicks, and marshmallows.
