I need to show the DNA of the nucleus, but I have no ideal on how or what to use. I"m using styroform for the cell. I'm lost.

Use pipe cleaners or plasticine to make the Sugar phosphate backbone and line them side by side. attach wire or more plasticine to make a ladder shape. When you have finished hold the top and the bottom and twist in opposite directions to make a double helix shape!
If you want to have more detail make the 'rungs' of the ladder which plasticine in 4 different colours, one for each of the bases

If you are making a cut away with the styrofoam, you could use smaller balls of styrofaom, painted 4 different colors, or make a seperate model of the DNA so that size relativity is not a problem. You need to show the small size of the DNA in contrast to the nucleus and to the blood cell itself. It would help if you explained the project in more detail. Hope this helps.

What type of cell are you make the model of? Human (mammalian) red blood cells do not have nuclei and therefore would not have DNA. If you're making a model of a white blood cell then you would need to make a model of the DNA molecule.

take two wires and place them parallel to eachother and then conect multiple wires to make the A-T G-C

or use yarn and beads. different colors to represent the dexoyribose, A,G,T, C bases and phosphate.
