Perhaps in an advanced biology course. But, given that you have limited time in class, and DNA is just one tiny, tiny component of a Bio 101 course, just getting across the concept of DNA, RNA, CGTA, Inheritance, and the implications to cell division is a victory. Trying to teach, "Hey, there are four bases, but no, not really, you can also have methylated cytosines, What is methylation you ask...." And then 25% of the class doesn't even grok the four bases concept because you got side tracked on a detail that is not relevant to baseline understanding. Admittedly, you can be too simple. When I took grade 11/12 chemistry in 1986/1987 in British Columbia, Canada - they did not teach chirality, and I didn't hear about it until watching an episode of Breaking Bad. So I see how one can feel cheated out of some pretty core concepts...
