Genetics and Evolution

Our Genetics and Evolution collection provides educational resources and equipment for studying heredity, gene expression, natural selection, and evolutionary biology in South African Life Sciences classrooms and university laboratories.

Resources include genetic models, chromosome simulation kits, and teaching materials aligned with the CAPS Life Sciences curriculum for Grades 10 to 12 and university biology.

SmartLabs supplies genetics and evolution resources to schools and universities across South Africa. Browse our range for curriculum-aligned materials that bring genetics and evolution concepts to life.



DNA and chromosome models on a classroom bench

What is genetics and evolution equipment?

Genetics and evolution equipment covers the models and kits used to study heredity, gene expression and evolutionary biology, turning abstract concepts like DNA structure and chromosome behaviour into something learners can build and examine.

SmartLabs stocks DNA molecular model kits, chromosome models, and a DNA structure wall chart. Every item is chosen to support CAPS Life Sciences genetics topics for Grades 10 to 12.

Common uses of genetics and evolution equipment in the classroom

From DNA model kits and chromosome models to wall charts.

  • A tall DNA helix model built from a kit on a wooden bench

    DNA Model Kits

    A DNA molecular model kit lets learners build the double helix structure themselves, reinforcing base pairing and molecular structure hands-on.

  • A model chromosome mounted upright on a stand

    Chromosome Models

    An extra-large chromosome model shows chromatid structure clearly, supporting lessons on cell division and inheritance.

  • A coloured DNA double helix model on a stand on a classroom bench

    Educational DNA Models

    A compact educational DNA model gives a simplified, colour-coded reference for the double helix, suited to introductory genetics lessons.

  • A wall chart showing the labelled structure of DNA

    DNA Structure Wall Chart

    The Structure of DNA wall chart gives a permanent, always-visible classroom reference for DNA's molecular structure.
