Preview - Exploring Dna Replication

Challenge #6: Changing the Supply

1.)  Return the speed to NORMAL and SETUP the simulation, then press GO/STOP

2.)  Increase the number of free nucleotides to approximately 150 bases.

DNA-strand-length:  30                                                    Speed:  Normal

Enzyme labels: checked                                                  Substitutions:  unchecked

Nucleo labels: unchecked                                                Free-nucleosides:  150                    Time-limit:  No Limit

3.)  Replicate the top strand of DNA.

 

Questions
