Gummy Bear DNA

The topic I'm going to write about is about the Gummy Bear project we completed in class. The three interesting facts that caught my eyes were that we were going to make a DNA strand out of different color Gummy Bears and different colored twizzlers. The whole purpose of this project was to make a DNA strand only using candies. However their was a trick. The trick was that Adenine and Thymine were represented by the Red and Orange colored Gummy Bears. And Cytosine and Guanine are represented by the Yellow and Green colored Gummy Bears. What I have learned is that DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Also, that there is DNA in every human being. In my opinion DNA is fun to learn about because there is DNA inside of everyone and that without someones DNA they wouldn't be a human being. Also, that an offspring gets half the DNA from one parent and half the DNA from another parent. One fact that I learned on the internet was that Adenine and Guanine are purines and that Cytosine and Thymine are pyrimidines. Also, that DNA is a polymer. A polymer is a compound formed from two or more polymeric compounds.
