Biomolecule Presentation

Working in a group you will research nucleic acids and create a presentation to share with the class. You will present your topic to the class. Remember that you are teaching the class about this topic and you need to explain the topic in terms they will understand. Each group member must contribute. At the minimum every person in the group must design and explain at least one slide. The presentation should last between 4-10 minutes. Remember, images, graphs, tables and figures enhance your presentation.
