Chromosome Connections Kit 2-Group Set

Chromosome Connections Kit
DNA - Cell Division - Inheritance

Help your students make the connection between chromosomes at the microscopic scale and chromosomes at the molecular scale! The Chromosome Connections Kit will enhance your classroom exploration of cell cycle, cell division and genetics. Students can manipulate the colorful foam pieces in the kit to:

  • Model chromosome structure and anatomy.
  • Construct Punnett squares to connect the inheritance of traits to chromosomes at the molecular level.
  • Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis.
  • Model mechanisms that contribute to genetic variation.
  • Model chromosomal aberrations such as nondisjunctions, translocations, inversions, deletions and duplications.
  • And much more!
