Extracting DNA from Wheat Germ Cells Criteria to be assessed CE Introduction: DNA is the abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is found in the nucleus of every cell & it stores the information that makes up living organisms. It is a double helix of 4 nucleotides. It contains a code that allows the body to make up proteins. The nucleotides are Cytosine‚ Guanine‚ Adenine and Thymine. (1) Wheat germ comes from wheat seeds. The ’ germ ’ is the embryo‚ which is the part of

DNA Extraction from Fruit 1. What was the purpose of adding liquid soap and salt in step #1 and how does NaCl contribute to maximum DNA extraction. The purpose of using soap was to destroy the membranes inside a kiwi cell. Soap helped with that because it dissolves the membranes easily. Salt or NaCl was used to remove proteins and carbohydrates. NaCl caused the proteins and carbohydrates to precipitate. 2. Why was it necessary to “mush” the kiwi by hand? If the step was omitted‚ what

plasmid DNA and analysis of isolated plasmid Introduction: A plasmid is an autonomously replicating extra-chromosomal genetic element. In other words‚ this is a DNA molecule external to the bacterial chromosome that is able to replicate on its own and distribute its daughter molecules to daughter cells. You have successfully cloned a fragment of chromosomal DNA containing a tetracycline resistance cassette into a plasmid (pET11a). To this end you have (1) isolated total chromosomal DNA from your

Djina Jan-18-15 Lab #6 - DNA Extraction lab Introduction: DNA is a double stranded macromolecule composed of nucleotide bases pairing Adenine with Thymine and Cytosine with Guanine. S ince DNA is the blueprint for life‚ every living thing contains DNA. The extraction of DNA from cells and its purification are of primary importance to the field of biotechnology and forensics. Extraction and purification of DNA are the first steps in the analysis and manipulation of DNA that allow scientists to detect

DNA extraction and purification is an essential tool in understanding the biological basis and significance of a eukaryotic cell. Its role is pivotal to numerous scientific applications ranging from basic science research to applied research. Hence‚ DNA is found in all living organisms. Fragaria x ananassa‚ also known as a strawberry has been widely used as one of the many biological models in studying DNA structures due to its accessibility. Strawberries are octoploid which contain large genomes

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

DNA extraction lab 1. A number of steps are required to isolate DNA from cellular content. Describe what happens at each step‚ and why it acts to separate the parts of the cell. The steps include a) breaking cell open to release the DNA; b) separating the DNA from cellar materials and proteins; c) using alcohol to precipitate the DNA; d) cleaning the DNA; e) confirming the presence of the DNA. a) Breaking cell open to release the DNA: the cells are separated from each other by physical means such

DNA EXTRACTION FROM KIWI ISGR SCIENCE Aalah Yousif‚ Ella Sobek April 27‚ 2012 Background All living organisms (plants‚ animals‚ and bacteria) are made up of cells. Any cell consists of many parts but the parts that play the key roles are the nucleus‚ cell membrane‚ and cytoplasm. The nucleus is like the “brain” of the cell (that also contains DNA). The cell membrane is like a wall that guards the cell. And the cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance which contains other smaller organelles like
