Question
Refer to the relative proportions diagram in the first picture.
1. To help reveal patterns in the data, graph the data from the table on the grid provided (the second picture).
2. Write two inferences based on your observations and analysis of the patterns that emerge from the data. Your inferences should give insight into the structure of DNA.
3. Formulate two or three claims about the data in Part 1. Be sure each claim is supported by the data.
4. Using the claims you developed, complete the data table that is provided in the picture (Relative Proportions Chart that is labeled "For question 4".
