Unlike most molecular models, which explore just one specific aspect of DNA, this versatile model enables your entire class to build a DNA model, then simulate the replication, transcription, and translation process during protein synthesis. Students follow easy-to-understand instructions to first build a DNA molecule, using color-coded plastic components, then perform a series of steps to experience how information stored in DNA is expressed as a finished protein. The kit contains enough materials for ten setups, a teacher’s guide, and student copymaster.
