Strawberry DNA Extraction Donovan Roberts Mrs. Caudill Honors Biology 3/7/11 Introduction The structure of DNA is made of nitrogenous bases‚ phosphate groups‚ and sugars. These three parts of DNA form hydrogen bonds and create a right-handed double helix. The location of DNA in a eukaryotic cell is found within the nucleus‚ bound to proteins. DNA can be extracted from within the cell. They are several steps you must take to retrieve DNA from within the cell. When extracting DNA cells

extract DNA from a strawberry using limited household items. This was accomplished with the prior knowledge that the DNA is stored in the nucleus of the cell‚ and that is an extraction buffer would be needed to acquire the DNA. This experiment had no control group‚ however‚ if there was a control group it might be a group with no extraction buffer. The independent variable in this experiment is the extraction buffer. The dependent variable in this experiment is the ability to extract DNA. The constants

We wanted to extract‚ see and analyze DNA from a single strawberry( 12.11 g). The long‚ thick fibers of DNA store the information for the functioning of the chemistry of life. DNA is present in every cell of plants and animals. The DNA found in strawberry cells can be extracted using common‚ everyday materials. To start the procedure we needed the following supplies; one strawberry‚ one plastic cup‚ 10 ml of Cell Lysis Buffer (10% detergent‚ 1% NaCl)‚ one plastic zip-lock bag‚ one coffee filter‚

Berry DNA Extraction Lab I. Problem Statement: Successfully extracting the DNA from strawberries. II. Background info: DNA is the genetic information in organisms that codes for proteins‚ and controls the cells function. The DNA is a double helix molecule that is formed by various nucleotides which include Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Guanine‚ and Cytosine with sugar phosphate. Different organisms can have larger or smaller genes. DNA is also what makes up chromosomes during cell replication. Strawberries

DNA Extraction Lab 1/17/14 Purpose : This lab was conducted in order to show and analyze the way DNA is extracted. Hypothesis: If the lab is conducted properly then we should be able to view a visible amount of DNA from the strawberry and detergent mixture. Variables: The independent variable in this experiment is the strawberry mixture while the dependent

Report August 28‚ 2013 DNA Extraction on Onion (Allium cepa) and Human Cheek Cell Arriza‚ Rolland Merch Buscato‚ Carl G. Butil‚ Conrad G. Leonida‚ Renee Theresa ABSTRACT This activity observes the DNA present in onion (Allium cepa) and human cheek cells by extracting it with the addition of lysis buffer and chilled ethanol. The lysis buffer is prepared from squeezed onion mixed with salt and Pantene Pro-V Shampoo. The buffer degrades the protein enveloping the DNA found in onion and cheek

Bioinformatics Leigh Ann Santana DNA Extraction Lab DNA extraction is an important process because the DNA first needs to be purified away from proteins and other cellular contaminants. Cell are needed‚ because that is where the DNA is located. Inside almost every cell in our bodies is a nucleus‚ and inside each nucleus is about two meters of DNA. The following steps are needed to purify DNA from a cheek swab. Collect cheek cells‚ Burst cells open to release DNA‚ separate DNA from proteins and debris

DNA EXTRACTION In extracting chromatin from the cells of wheat germ there are seven steps to follow. The optimal cell to use would be the polyploidal eukaryotic. Eukaryotes have nucleus membrane-bound organelles‚ while prokaryotic does not. The polyploidal eukaryotic cell has DNA that is held in the nucleus while the prokaryote has DNA that floats freely around the cell. The DNA of eukaryotes is more complex and extensive than the other. Prokaryote is a bacterial cell that

Strawberry DNA lab Extraction Purpose: The purpose of this lab experiment is to see if this particular type of fruit which in this case is a strawberry contains DNA. Using materials such as a Ziploc bag to help keep the entire strawberry in one place while it gets smashed and test tube to help better see the DNA and break down of the liquid in the left over strawberry sediments. Background information: The long thick fibers of DNA store the information for the function of the chemistry
