Play a game and find out about a Nobel Prize awarded discovery or work! In the beginning of the 1950s, biologists knew that DNA carried the hereditary message. But how? The DNA molecule looks like a spiral ladder where the rungs are formed by base molecules, which occur in pairs. These sequences of base pairs represent the genetic information. In the game below, you can make copies of DNA molecules and find out which organism the genetic material belongs to!
About the game
Most living organisms have the same sort of genetic material, DNA, in their cells. DNA contains two strands wrapped around each other in a helix, and these strands are held in place by four chemicals called bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T).Game-Based Learning
