Chicken Livers Lab Report
Title I decided to do my experiment on chicken livers. It was interesting to do this experiment on chicken livers. The results were that since there is DNA I needed to stir the ingredients slowly and do the experiment as quickly as I can due to the fact that there are enzyme in the cells. I found out that liquid detergent is an active agent which the detergent destroy the cell membrane and also the protein.
Abstract
I chose to do my experiment on chicken livers to see what the results would be. The results were that I notice that after three seconds I saw what look like white strands that actually look like cotton which had appear in the ethanol layer and this was the DNA.
Introduction
DNA was was discovered in 1868, but was not established as inherited information until nearly a century later. DNA was uncovered by a Swiss medical student whose name was Johann F. Miescher who actually discovered it while working with white blood cells that he removed from pus withdrew out of an operating cut. It was then established that the nuclein was rich in phosphorous and was furthermore acidic. This was the reason that it was named nucleic acid, also known as DNA still has. (DNA-Structure, 2013). Although Miescher found DNA, it took eighty- four years for scientists to acknowledge it as genetic …show more content…
The first step was to blend the frozen livers in the blender for about two minutes. The second step I needed to split the liver juice. The third step I needed to add salt and to make sure that it was stir gradually. The fourth step I needed to boil the liquid for about four minutes. The fifth step I needed to screen the liquid by using cotton gauze as soon as possible and then cooling it by using ice cubes. The sixth step I used the ice and the alcohol and stir it in the
