Procedure 2: DNA Extraction from Cheek Cells Materials: Water‚ Clear Dish Soap‚ Table Salt‚ Isopropyl Alcohol (70%) or Ethanol‚ Food Coloring 1. To 200 Ml drinking water add two teaspoons of salt 2. Gargle the salt water for 1 minute. 3. Spit the gargled water into a beaker (or new cup). Now your cheek cells are suspended in the salt water. 4. Gently stir the salt water with one drop of soap (try to avoid air bubbles) 5. In a separate beaker (or cup)‚ mix 20 ml isopropyl alcohol and 1-3 drops

DNA Extraction Lab Purpose: To compare the amount of DNA extracted from two different species‚ despite using the same method. Hypothesis: I predict that the liver will produce a higher quantity of DNA than the strawberry. This is because I believe that animals have a higher DNA yield because our structure is more complex than a plant’s structure. Materials: -Sample of Strawberries -Zip lock bag -DNA extraction buffer -Cold ethanol -Glass rod -Double ply cheese cloth -Two test tubes

Brandon Schmetterer 3-13-15 Biology labs DNA Extraction Lab DNA is extracted from humans for genetic testing‚ for body identification‚ and for analysis of forensic evidence. The first step of DNA extraction is to take cheek cells from the test subject. Next‚ the cells must be burst open in order to release DNA. Third‚ DNA is separated from protein and debris. Lastly‚ the DNA must be isolated. A buccal swab is necessary in order to collect the cheek cells .The micropipettes are used to add lysis

Lab 5 Acid/Base Extractions Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to separate either the organic base (amine) or organic acid (carboxylic acid) from a mixture that contains inorganic impurities (salt) by performing a liquid-liquid extraction and then taking a melting point. Key Experimental Details and Observations Our starting material‚ Compound B‚ was a fine white powder and weighed 0.535g. The final product was a shiny white sheet that resembled acrylic paint and weighed 0.109g

Solid Mixture by Liquid-Liquid Extraction Introduction Liquid-liquid extraction is a technique used to separate chemical substances in order to purify or identify the various components of a mixture. Flavors‚ spices‚ perfumes‚ and medicines are just some of the everyday things that are extracted from plants and other natural sources [1]. The basic principle used to carry out this separation is the mixing of two liquids that are immiscible with each other. This creates layers of liquid‚ which can be

How carbon dioxide may affect organisms directly and indirectly Carbon dioxide is a molecule that is essential to the survival of nearly all organisms on our planet‚ as in some way or another they rely on carbon dioxide or its products to provide them with respiratory substrates. However‚ as I will elaborate later‚ carbon dioxide also has adverse effects on organisms. Carbon dioxide primarily affects all organisms as it is essential for the process of photosynthesis‚ in which organic compounds

the four different pigments types of a leaf. As the filter paper with the solvent will separate the pigments in terms of solubility‚ a clear segmentation of each is expected to show off. As various chemicals were used in the whole process of this lab‚ certain variables might have influenced the results in terms of the purity of each chemical or purity of the used filtrate. Background The chloroplast‚ basically‚ is the organelle responsible for photosynthesis. Structurally it is very similar to

Experiment 1: Viscosity of Liquids Victoria Kulczak Lab Partners: Laina Maines & Heidi Osterman Date of Lab: 2/21/11 Due Date: 2/28/11 Abstract: The goal of this experiment was to determine the viscosity of given liquids. Two different methods were employed‚ the first measures time of flow of several methanol-water solutions‚ from point A to point B. The second method involves dropping a foreign object‚ in this case a sphere‚ into a cylinder of glycerol and measuring the time it takes for it to
