Genetics and Evolution

Genetics and evolution is the part of Life Sciences learners find hardest to picture. DNA replication, protein synthesis, meiosis, inheritance and natural selection all happen at a scale nobody can see in class, so this collection brings together models, wall charts and prepared slides that put those processes in front of them.

You'll find wall charts on DNA structure, chromosomes, mitosis, meiosis, gamete formation, genetic engineering and fossils, a DNA model kit, a large chromosome model, 3D mitosis and meiosis models, and microscope slides of cells mid-division, including onion root tip. The range suits CAPS Life Sciences from Grade 10 to Grade 12 as well as first-year biology. For a full class set, our team can quote on quantities.

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.
