Simulations of Heredity Kits - Create Models of the Building Blocks of Life

Hands-on Kit series that simulates the basics of DNA, RNA, and chromosomal behavior
Color-coded beads unlock the enigmas of molecular genetics
Enough kit elements for 30 students
Excellent tool for reinforcing base-pairing rules

The biochemical intricacies of molecular genetics are enough to overwhelm just about any biology student. This series of study kits simplifies the complexities of genetics by allowing students to use plastic color-coded beads to:

Build and visualize the nucleotide base pair bonds of DNA
Examine intrinsic DNA Structure and execute the basics of DNA replication
Demonstrate the processes of RNA synthesis (transcription) and protein synthesis (translation) using the same durable bead system
Study chromosomal behavior during mitosis and meiosis
Simulate crossing-over and several chromosome aberrations for easier understanding

For use by one to 3 students. Allows students to study DNA structure and semiconservative replication by utilizing color-coded beads as molecular representatives of DNA components. Order the DNA Simulation Beads Set (item# 171034) for replacement beads and connectors. With instructions. /!\ WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
