Aim: To extract DNA.
Method:
1. mush half a kiwi fruit into a zip lock bag with a splash of water and a small teaspoon of salt.
2. Strain the solution through a cloth into a beaker.
3. Add a squirt of dishwashing liquid and stir together.
4. Pour the liquid into a testtube.
5. Place the test tube into a beaker filled with warm water.
6. Leave for 10 minutes.
7. slowly pour 5ml of methylated spirits down the inside of the test tube.
Results:
Discussion:
You find DNA inside an organism, inside that organism in a cell, every cell has a nucleus which is the control centre of the cell. Each nucleus is made up of 46 chromosomes and those chromosomes represent your DNA.
Did you know we share 60% of our DNA with a banana. And we share 96% of DNA with a gorilla although we are more chimpanzees than we are gorillas.
Conclusion: This experiment worked really well.
