About This Lesson
Students highlight the mistake; write down why it's wrong; say what the correction should be; and re-draw the molecule correctly. The top 2 base pairs are correct. The mistakes include:-3rd base pair down; the A base is the wrong shape-5th base pair down; C is shown as a purine and G as a pyrimidine- 5th base pair down; there are only 2 hydrogen bonds between C and G-bottom base pair are not complementary-the right hand sugar-phosphate backbone is not antiparallel
