Each set of chromosome models includes: 6 pairs of model autosomes 6 pairs of model X chromosomes 2 pairs of model Y sex chromosomes 4 model chromosome fragments and 48 shapes to simulate allelles Instructional booklet includes background information, instructions for hands-on activities, suggested extension activities, and reproducible student sheets.

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

Enhance your students' understanding of mitosis, chromosome replication, meiosis, and genetic inheritance with this kit. Available as a 1-Station Kit, containing 1 set of models and an instructional booklet, or an 8-Station Kit, containing 8 sets of models and an instructional booklet. These kits help your students gain a concrete understanding of the form and function of chromosomes.

Each model chromosome can be detached into individual chromatids that have multiple locations for placing allelles.

These kits meet the National Science Education Standards for Life Science Content, Standard C, grades 5-8 (Structure and Function in Living Systems and Reproduction and Heredity) and grades 9-12 (The Cell and Molecular Basis of Heredity).
