Objective: To isolate and remove the DNA from strawberries.
Background Info:
- Soap can disrupt phospholipid bilayers in cell and nuclear membranes.
- Enzymes, such as those found in meat tenderizer, will cut proteins into smaller sections, allowing the DNA to unwind.
- Chilled alcohol is a perfect substance in which DNA will precipitate in.
- When DNA precipitates it forms white clumpls of strands.
Materials:
detergent Ice funnel
enzymes pipet test tube
alcohol snack size baggies test tube rack
Methods:
Results: Simply write what you got for data in your data table. Identify any quantity differences in terms of
percentages/trends. Use in-text citations to cite each table/graph etc. (e.g., (table 1).) Make sure the citation is within the
sentence.
Conclusion: The results of this experiment support/do not support (pick one) the original hypothesis. Give your input
about why you think you got the results you did. Add any other input you have. State the the scientific significance of the lab.
Include shortcomings of the experiment (what you would do differently next time). End with
suggesting a further study.
