Os aspectos analisados foram a abordagem do tema e os modelos de ensino apresentados pelos autores. A an&#225;lise mostrou que existem s&#233;rios problemas relativos a ambos os aspectos. Como resultado, o ensino do DNA ocorre de forma desvinculada e, muitas vezes, incoerente nas duas disciplinas, n&#227;o contribuindo para que os alunos entendam e desenvolvam uma vis&#227;o cr&#237;tica em rela&#231;&#227;o a temas relativos &#224; engenharia gen&#233;tica bastante enfatizados pela m&#237;dia ultimamente.

<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT:  This research analyses the teaching of the DNA as presented by both biology and chemistry textbooks for the medium level. The aspects analysed were the approach proposed and the teaching models presented. It was shown that there are problems concerning with both aspects. As a consequence, the teaching of the DNA occurs in a disconnected and sometimes incoherent way between the two subjects. It does not contribute for students understanding and developing of a critical view about themes related to genetic engineering that has been emphatically published by the media. We advocate that such a teaching occurs from an interdisciplinary perspective so that it could really favour students&#8217; meaningful learning.]]></p></abstract>
