Which statement describes this model of DNA?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which statement accurately describes a student-made model of a section of DNA, based on given options that evaluate the accuracy of base pairing and representation of the DNA structure.
Answer
A) The model is inaccurate because the base pairs are incorrect.
The final answer is A) The model is inaccurate because the base pairs are incorrect.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is A) The model is inaccurate because the base pairs are incorrect.
More Information
In the DNA model, base pairs are typically adenine (A) with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) with guanine (G). However, the provided model shows identical sequences paired directly, which is incorrect.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming identical sequences are mirrored correctly without cross-checking the correct base-pairing rules.
