Flow of Genetic Information Kit^© Resources

The Central Dogma of Biology makes sense when your students can make it happen right before their eyes. Don’t be surprised if someone blurts, “Now I get it!” while using this kit. You can also purchase the Side Chain Expansion Pack or use the side chains from the Amino Acid Starter Kit^© to add even more authenticity and connections!

• Identify essential enzymes like helicase and polymerase
• Model replication of the leading and lagging strands of DNA
• Explore transcription as they copy one strand of DNA into mRNA using an RNA polymerase
• Engage in translation/protein synthesis as they decode the mRNA into protein on the ribosome placemat
• Reenact the different results of the Meselson and Stahl experiments
