DNA Extraction Blog



Check out this Science blog from Anya and Ruby!


Today we were extracting DNA from a kiwi. We saw bubbles with white lines, that was the kiwi's DNA. We used fairy liquid, salt, and cold alcohol. The point of doing this is because we were learning about DNA. 

We mushed kiwi and fairy liquid to break down the cells and then added salt to break down the membranes even more. Then we filtered it out so we were left with DNA. Then we got ice cold alcohol and watched at the DNA particles rise out of the liquid. The point of this is because we were learning about plant and animal cells.
