Flow of Genetic Information

Don’t be surprised if one of your students blurts “Now I get it!” while using our Flow of Genetic Information Kit©. Manipulating the kit’s color-coded foam nucleotides and placemats, students will model replication of the leading and lagging strands of DNA, model transcription as they copy one strand of DNA into mRNA using an RNA polymerase and model translation/protein synthesis as they decode the mRNA into protein on the ribosome placemat.
