15 Flipped Activity: Teacher gave a
minutes material about the RNA and types
and the significance of RNA and
questions were posted on the same.
Learners make notes during the Directed questioning
lecture and clarify the doubts if there
is any.
Learners were asked to discuss in Random questioning and observation
pairs about the questions posted
about the RNA types and functions
