Using the familiar poppit bead as a basic unit, the kit provides additional specially designed units to enable a wide range of three-dimensinal models to be constructed. The kit includes illustrated teaching notes describing the use of the kits as:
DNA/RNA model
Mitosis and Meiosis demonstration model
Protein Synthesis model
Gene pool model
Chromosome aberration model
Potein synthesis model
Population genetics model
Allows students to work out the steps involved in DNA replication, transcription, mitosis, meiosis, crossing over, linkage etc. Moreover, it can be adapted for use at different levels and in conjunction with more sophisticated models.
Contents: Poppit beads, DNA support rods, hydrogen bonds, amino acid units, centromeres, teaching notes.
