Description
DNA Model is an essential educational tool used in biology, genetics, and medical studies to visually represent the double-helix structure of DNA. These models help students understand genetic coding, DNA replication, and molecular interactions.
Features of a DNA Model
- Double-Helix Structure – Accurately represents the twisted ladder shape of DNA.
- Color-Coded Components – Different colors for nitrogenous bases, phosphate groups, and sugar molecules.
- Base Pair Representation – Includes Adenine (A) – Thymine (T) & Guanine (G) – Cytosine (C) pairing.
- Movable or Fixed Structure – Some models allow twisting and unwinding to demonstrate replication.
- Detachable Parts – Advanced models feature removable components for interactive learning.
- Durable Material – Made from PVC, plastic, or metal for long-term use.
- Size Variations – Available in different sizes, from tabletop models to large classroom displays.
Types of DNA Models
- Basic DNA Model – Simple representation of the DNA double helix.
- 3D Rotating DNA Model – Allows for twisting and unwinding demonstrations.
- Magnetic DNA Model – Features detachable components for hands-on learning.
- Fluorescent or Transparent DNA Model – Enhances visualization with lighting effects.
- Molecular DNA Model – Shows atomic-level interactions within the DNA structure.
