RNA Model
Product Code : EL-ZM-10608
Quick answer: The RNA Model is a board-mounted teaching model of the RNA molecule, shown with its DNA template on the chromosome and the roles of messenger RNA and transfer RNA. It is used to teach RNA structure, transcription and protein synthesis, and it carries a colour key and structural formula. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How the model is used in teaching
RNA differs from DNA in three textbook ways: it is usually single-stranded, its sugar is ribose rather than deoxyribose, and it carries uracil in place of thymine. In transcription, a stretch of DNA on the chromosome acts as a template and RNA polymerase builds a complementary messenger RNA strand.
The messenger RNA carries the code to the ribosome, where transfer RNA molecules bring amino acids and match their anticodons to the codons of the messenger strand during translation. The board model presents the RNA molecule with its DNA template and the messenger and transfer RNA, and the colour key and structural formula connect the drawn molecule to its chemistry.
- Begin with the DNA template on the chromosome and identify the strand that is copied.
- Trace the messenger RNA and compare its bases with the DNA, using the colour key.
- Follow the transfer RNA and discuss how codons and anticodons pair during protein synthesis.
- Use the structural formula to point out the ribose sugar and the bases of RNA.
