Learn the difference between cells, DNA, chromosomes, and genomes in less than 10 minutes.
After downloading and installing the app, you’ll learn the building blocks of DNA and then using drag and drop, build a DNA molecule and then a DNA double helix.
After you build a DNA molecule, you’ll see how it relates to chromosomes and genomes. For perspective you’ll see the difference in size of genomes from a virus to a the largest genome currently known - and here’s a hint - its not a human genome!
Key Features:
-quick and concise exercise (10 minutes or less)
-learn about DNA by building it
-learn the chemical structures that make up DNA (nucleotides, phosphate)
-learn about hydrogen bonding that binds single stranded DNA together
-use it as a stepping stone to more advanced apps such as Virtual Bioengineer
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
