1. The model can be upright or lying down so long as it
is in three dimensions.
2. You must have a legend identifying: each nitrogen
base, deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group, hydrogen bonds (whether there are two
or three bonds in the appropriate places) and a complete nucleotide.
3. The model must contain twelve (12) nucleotides
arranged in the following from bottom to top:
ATAGCGTCTCTG. (You must determine the complimentary bases).
