RNA Model, 12 Bases, miniDNA® Kit

Description Easily assemble this single strand molecule which consists of the 4 bases, as in DNA, but instead of Thymine it has Uracil. This RNA molecular kit contains 12 bases, equivalent to 4 codons in a single strand model of messenger RNA as well as 2 "clover leaf" shaped Transfer RNA parts and 2 amino-acid parts. Together with the 12 layer Advanced miniDNA™ kit it can be used to model the creation of RNA by TRANSCRIPTION. Furthermore, it provides hands-on investigation into protein synthesis known as TRANSLATION. The Advanced miniDNA molecular model includes: 3 Uracil (light blue) 3 Adenine (blue) 3 Guanine (green) 3 Cytosine (yellow) 6 Ribose (red) 6 Phosphate (purple) Demonstrate the molecular structure and function of DNA and RNA
