HELPPP! Pa sagot ng maayos, please lang.
Give an analogy or anything similar to a nucleotide. Explain why you chose that as an answer
Example/Format ng sagot:
DNA = City
I chose city as an analogy to the DNA because one DNA molecule (one DNA 'letter' - A, T, G or C) would be represented by one house on a street. A gene would equal a whole street of houses. A chromosome is all the streets in a neighbourhood. A set of chromosomes (for example all of the human chromosomes) would be represented by a city made up of all different neighbourhoods.

Answer:
The only analogy that I could think of with regards of the DNA nucleotides is the teeth of the zipper.
Just like the zipper, it has two strands which represents the strands of the DNA chain. The teeth of the zipper represents the nucleotides (A,T,G and C).
You will also notice that in each side(zipper tape) there are zipper teeth attached next to the slider and each teeth has complementary part. Just like the rules of complementarity of the DNA nucleotide, Adenine (A) always pairs with Thymine (T) and Cytosine (C) always pairs with Guanine (G). The zipper won't be able to be pulled down/up if the teeth are not compatible to each other.
Note: I dunno if this answer is what you're looking for. Istg, this is merely an opinion and I apologize if it didn't meet your expectation. I also attached a photo so you can visualize the analogy between the zipper teeth and the nucleotides.
