Free Fallin'

In class today we started making DNA keychains. We each got a bag of colored beads and a DNA code. The instructions were to create a key for the DNA code and color in the DNA lines using the code. After coloring in the DNA patterns we started putting the beads on wire to make them look like the DNA pattern we had on our papers. Each of our patterns are unique, just like those of humans. We started making the keychain today and we will continue working on it tommorrow. The finished result looks like DNA and it is pretty cool. DNA is determined by the parents alleles. That's why the offspring tends to look like the parents it came from. DNA determines what you look like so that's why everyones appearance is different. Your genetic traits are also determined by your DNA. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. In conclusion, your DNA controls what genetic traits you have and the genetic traits you are able to get are determined by your parents alleles. DNA controls the way you look and everybody's DNA is different.
