This kit allows a student to construct a model of an 8-rung ladder segment of a DNA molecule and then build a molecular model of the basic components of the nucleotides of RNA and DNA. This Lab-Aid combines the features of the Molecular Model of DNA and its Replication (No.LA71) and Nucleic Acid Molecular Structure (No. LA513) for an individual student.

All components are reusable and the nucleotides (when using more than one kit) can be linked together to form a DNA model. A set of instructions for constructing the models is included with each packet. This activity is an excellent review of these concepts.
