Introduction
No molecular structure has gained more world-wide recognition than the DNA double helix. The famous
Nature paper written by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953 entitled, Molecular Structure of
Nucleic

immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material.” Since then, many
scientists have focused on researching the mechanism of DNA replication.

In this lesson you will learn how a copy of DNA is replicated for each cell. You will model a 2D
representation of DNA replication using the foam nucleotide pieces.
