Challenge #6: Changing the Supply

4.)  Now, decrease the number of free nucleotides to approximately 15 bases. 

DNA-strand-length:  30                                                    Speed:  Normal

Enzyme labels: checked                                                  Substitutions:  unchecked

Nucleo labels: unchecked                                                Free-nucleosides:  15                    Time-limit:  No Limit

5.)  Replicate the bottom strand of DNA.  Press GO/STOP to end the simulation.

Questions

Please answer the questions below.
