Help! DNA is driving me crazy

[agnes!]

My DD made a gorgeous DNA model (They all have to make them) for her project for Science class tomorrow. It is a thing of beauty and a joy forever...BUT...
I was looking at it and thinking that she might have gotten some of the sequence of the Guanine/Cytosine and Adenine/Thymine "ladder rungs" wrong. SO, I have been trying to find a DNA diagram that shows the pair sequences WITHOUT the double helix... I KNOW the stupid thing twists, I am just trying to understand if DD will have to re-do (ackackack) some of this thing today when she gets home from school. I need to see the DNA sequence straight-on. This business of trying to understand the DNA double-helix/sequence that is rendered as a flat drawing but is really a 3-D chain of sugars and...and...and...

PLEASE, I am going nuts (some might say that I'm already there) trying to understand if this model is incorrect. If anybody out there in DIS-land can find a straight-on(no twists! no double helixes!) diagram of DNA (labelled with the appropriate pairs so we can figire out if this model needs to be fixed) *somewhere* on the Internet, please post the URL here.

Thanks,
agnes!

Will this work?

I just did a google image search.

Does your DD have to a specific sequence of DNA or just the basic structure with the 4 bases (and hydrogen bonds), sugars, and phosphates?

Just the basic sequence, thank God. I think I already looked at that particular URL, but thanks so much...I'll take a look at it to make sure.

Again, if anybody knows of a simple illustration of basic DNA that is a straight-on view(as I said before...no twists! no double-helixes!), please post it here.

TIA,
agnes!

D'oh!
I realized that the only important thing about the pairs is that one has to have the right pairs matched up(Adenine with Thymine, etc), the actual sequence of the pairs doesn't really matter when a 7th-Grade Honors Class is making 3-D models of DNA.

sheesh.

PS - What am I doing on The DIS when I could be packing to go to DISNEY WORLD!!!
