We are going to be playing this game: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/labs/lab/rna/research#/vlab/home

NOTE: You do not have to finish this game - we'll play for 10 minutes and then come back to answer a question or two

You can click and drag to change multiple dots with a single swipe of the mouse

Match the base with the nucleotide(s) that it bonds to:

Stavka koja se može prevući		Odgovarajuća stavka
Cytosine		Uracil
Adenine		Adenine and Guanine
Uracil		Uracil and Cytosine
Guanine		Guanine

Make sure you read the directions to find the next step!

When you learn something new in the game, come back to this GoFormative and see if it's a question :)
