IV. Analysis
Teachers Activity Students Activity
What are the common parts of a Answers may vary
nucleotide?

What is the one part of the nucleotide that

differs among the other different
nucleotides?

V. Abstraction
Teachers Activity Students Activity
The teacher will discuss the following :
DNA is composed of chains of
Nucleotides built on a sugar and
phosphate backbone and wrapped
around each other in the form of a
double helix. The backbone
supports four bases: guanine,
cytosine, adenine, and thymine .
Guanine and cytosine are
complementary, always appearing
opposite each other on the helix, as
are adenine and thymine. This is
critical in the reproduction of the
genetic material, as it allows a .
strand to divide and copy itself,
since it only needs half of the
material in the helix to duplicate
successfully.
