1. How would you describe the structure of DNA to a 10-year-old?​ ​DNA is a
twisty, springy structure that is made up of many chemicals.
2. What nucleotide sequence would bond with the following strand ATCGCC?
TAGCGG
3. Arrange the following cell structures from the smallest to the largest, left to
right:
DNA, gene, chromosomes, cell

4. The table below shows the number of base pairs in the DNA of selected
organisms. From the data in the table, what can you say about the amount
of DNA contained in the cells of these three organisms?

Amount of DNA in an Average Cell of Selected Organisms

Organism Number of Base Pairs

E. Coli 4.7 million

Corn (Zea Mays) 2.5 billion

Human (Homo sapiens) 3.3 billion

The smaller the organism, the more DNA is present within said organism. This can be
proven by the fact that E. Coli, a microorganism that is smaller than both humans and
corn plants, has the largest number of base pairs in comparison to humans and corn
plants.
