How do you make a simple 3D DNA model that wont take much time to make?

long colored beads or macaroni noodles, string (or wire), and beads... cand remember exactly what goes where but you get the idea

I'm a biology teacher, and a cell model is a project every year.\n\nUse a HARD beachball about the size of a basketball....or a cheap dimestore basket ball. Cut in in half and use thin wires to suspend the various organelles inside.

Here's a great animation that helps explain it:  http://www.johnkyrk.com/DNAreplication.html

its a double helix.\n\n  \n 1. DNA is made up of subunits which scientists called nucleotides.\n   2. Each nucleotide is made up of a sugar, a phosphate and a base.\n   3. There are 4 different bases in a DNA molecule:\n\n          adenine (a purine) \n          cytosine (a pyrimidine) \n          guanine (a purine) \n          thymine (a pyrimidine) \n\n   4. The number of purine bases equals the number of pyrimidine bases\n   5. The number of adenine bases equals the number of thymine bases\n   6. The number of guanine bases equals the number of cytosine bases\n   7. The basic structure of the DNA molecule is helical, with the bases being stacked on top of each other

JUST MAKE A 3D-MODEL OF A PRISM OUT OF A CARDBOARD OR THERMACOL

Thinking out of the box:\n\n  Just crumple it up into a paper ball.\n\nRough texture but easily a sphere.

try onion skinning in flash make frames and in each fram edit the mouths and legs in different directions.\nIn Fireworks\nMake frames of the same image at least ten. Edit each image separately and export as animated gif.

There is a page linked below showing how to make a cell model from a styrofoam ball.

Free? Blender. http://www.blender3d.org\n\nI don't have experience with many other 3D programs, but here are some NOT-free ones:\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/imaging_3d/cheetah3d.html\nhttp://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/imaging_3d/microspotmodeler.html\nhttp://www.sketchup.com/\nhttp://www.ac3d.org/\n\nI think all of these have demos.

How is Recombinant DNA made? \nThere are three different methods by which Recombinant DNA is made. They are \nTransformation, Phage Introduction, and Non-Bacterial Transformation. Each \nare described separately below. \n\nTransformation\nThe first step in transformation is to select a piece of DNA to be inserted \ninto a vector. The second step is to cut that piece of DNA with a restriction \nenzyme and then ligate the DNA insert into the vector with DNA Ligase. The insert contains a selectable \nmarker which allows for identification of recombinant molecules. An antibiotic \nmarker is often used so a host cell without a vector dies when exposed to a certain \nantibiotic, and the host with the vector will live because it is resistant. \n\nThe vector is inserted into a host cell, in a process called transformation. One \nexample of a possible host cell is E. Coli. The host cells must be specially \nprepared to take up the foreign DNA. \n\nSelectable markers can be for antibiotic resistance, color changes, or any other \ncharacteristic which can distinguish transformed hosts from untransformed hosts. \nDifferent vectors have different properties to make them suitable to different \napplications. Some properties can include symmetrical cloning sites, size, and \nhigh copy number. \n\nNon-Bacterial Transformation\nThis is a process very similar to Transformation, which was described above. The \nonly difference between the two is non-bacterial does not use bacteria such as E. Coli \nfor the host. \n\nIn microinjection, the DNA is injected directly into the nucleus of the cell being \ntransformed. In biolistics, the host cells are bombarded with high velocity \nmicroprojectiles, such as particles of gold or tungsten that have been coated \nwith DNA. \n\nPhage Introduction\nPhage introduction is the process of transfection, which is equivalent to transformation, \nexcept a phage is used instead of bacteria. In vitro packagings of a vector is used. \nThis uses lambda or MI3 phages to produce phage plaques which contain recombinants. \nThe recombinants that are created can be identified by differences in the \nrecombinants and non-recombinants using various selection methods.

any biological item has DNA,hair,saliva,blood- doesnt take much to capture a dna sample

Go to a store like Michaels (or other art/craft) and take a look around, it might help for ideas.  You can actually buy a kit to make models now too.\n\nstyrofoam balls and toothpicks  (ala http://www.miniscience.com/projects/DNAmodel/)\nthere are other puffy like decorative clothing balls\n\nThese are some fun ones http://www.lake-mills.k12.ia.us/hs/sci/b-e1.html\n\nCandy would always work, but I think it would be harder to make it stay together and than transport to school.  Unless you could do like a 2D representation.

Blender is a good free 3d modeling program. So is Anim8tor.

Check out "mitosis" in a suitable source (Wikipedia, for example).  The process is a bit long to describe here.

Yeah thats easy just put them(the colors) in a table. you do this by choosing that as the Cell BGColor, and to put a spin on it make the colors a link.

Use clay and then you'll be able to form the 3d shapes

Make a Dodecahedron. That's what I did.
