DNA - The Double Helix:
What's happening in your body right now? Your genetic material is duplicated frequently. Most living organisms have the same sort of genetic material, DNA, in their cells. DNA contains of 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). Crack the genetic code in this game to learn more!

DNA Replication:
Use this science activity to learn about how DNA replicates. ‘Unzip’ the DNA, then choose the correct enzymes to replicate the strand.

DNAZip!
When a cell divides in two, its DNA must be copied so that each cell inherits a complete copy of DNA. The DNA helix is unzipped and each half is rezipped with bases (A, C, T, G) floating in the cell. In this game, you play the character Zip to help the protein zipper (DNA polymerase) complete the DNA code. Zip needs to capture the matching base and deliver it to the protein to keep it going. But you need to be quick! Zip needs to figure out the DNA code and navigate platforms made from microtubules and actin filaments before time runs out!
