$100 Question from Nucleic Acids X-ray evidence was used to discover that the shape of DNA which was what?

$100 Answer from Nucleic Acids Double Helix

$200 Question from Nucleic Acids You have a building toy set consisting of parts that can be connected together. You are going to use it to model a piece of DNA. You have decided that each part of DNA will be represented by a different type of toy piece. You have chosen the following four pieces so far: adenine = large red cube; guanine = large green cube, thymine = small orange cube; cytosine = small blue cube. How many other types of pieces do you need to represent the remaining parts both the 3-prime and the 5-prime strands of a section of DNA?

$200 Answer from Nucleic Acids The only pieces still needed represent a deoxyribose sugar and a phosphate—the order of those pieces determines the direction of the strand.
