DNA Isolation from Onion! Today‚ the students are going to isolate DNA from onions. You will need a blender or a food processor for this experiment. If you do not have one‚ check to see if your teacher does. If neither of you have one‚ then let me know ahead of time‚ and I can provide one from my home. You will also need to bring a knife and cutting board to cut the onions as well as a measuring cup. All other materials will be provided. The first part of the DNA experiment is to grind

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

E5 & E6 Extraction of Chlorophyll from Fresh Spinach and Investigation of the Photochemistry of Chlorophyll Chlorophyll a Chlorophyll b E5 - Extraction of Chlorophyll from Fresh Spinach E6 - Investigation of the Photochemistry of Chlorophyll The aim of this experiment is to investigate the photochemistry of chlorophyll. This experiment will be performed in two lab periods. In the first lab period you will extract chlorophyll‚ the green pigment in leaves‚ from spinach.

DNA Extraction from Wheat Germ and Making an Agarose Gel AIM: To be able to make and agarose gel and perform gel electrophoresis in six different dyes. Also‚ to extract DNA from wheat germ. INTRODUCTION: Agarose gel is a substance that is used in science for gel electrophoresis and size exclusion chromatography. These processes use agarose gel to separate and analyze proteins and DNA. The medium is composed of a purified agarose powder that has been boiled in a buffer solution and then cooled

Radioisotopic labels would be used in experiments to identify semi-conservative replication in prokaryotes. Because we anticipated that a labeled DNA would have different density with unlabeled‚ which means‚ by analyzing the different density of DNAs‚ we can determine which of DNA is labeled‚ half-labeled or unlabeled. To this end‚ I will use c13 label the bacteria and abruptly change carbon source with C12. Then I will collect four samples in different time and analyze the results from centrifugal

Conclusions of DH5α DNA transformation with red colonies resistance to ampicillin and the lacZ gene Introduction: In this experiment‚ a plasmid with a gene that has resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin and has lacZ is used to transfer the resistance into E. coli bacteria in red colonies. This same technique is used to give diabetics their insulin‚ and to give dwarfs growth hormones. The point of this lab is to give the groups an idea how DNA can be transformed

DNA Lab Report SungYong Jang What is DNA? What do the letters stand for? What is it composed of? Where is it found? What is it shaped like? Answer in full sentences. It is the genetic material that can be passed on from parent to offspring DNA --> Deoxyribonucleic acid It composed of Deoxyribose (5 carbon sugar)‚ a phosphate and a Nitrogonous base (the 4 N-bases are Guanine‚ Cytosine‚ Adenine and Thymine) It is a double helix (looks like

placed in an electrophoresis machine. An electric current is run through the machine and the different sized molecules form bands on the gel matrix. In visualization‚ the gel is dyed so the results become present. This is used in modern crime labs‚ figuring out DNA‚ which plays a key role in many criminal trials. The researcher completed this experiment to figure out who committed the murder using gel electrophoresis. The researcher followed five steps in this experiment; First was placing the gel in
