DNA Extraction

 Aim: Our aim is to extract DNA from the kiwi fruit.

Method: 

1.Mush half a kiwi fruit in 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 dish washing liquid and stur.

4. Pour into a test tube.

5. Place the test tube in a beaker filled with WARM water.

6. Leave for 10 minutes.

7. Slowly pour 5 ml of methylated spirits down the inside of the test tube.

Where do you find DNA?

You can find DNA in all living things.

What makes up DNA?

DNA is made up of nucleotide, this contain a sugar group, a phosphate group and one of four types of nitrogen bases.

How much DNA do humans share with the kiwi fruit/Bananas? 

We share 60% of our DNA with bananas. A study revealed that kiwi fruits has similarities between 39, 040 genes and other plant species including potatoes and tomato's. 
Conclusion:

In conclusion we could see that the DNA formed in between the kiwi fruit juice and the methylated spirits. The DNA just looked like a bunch of tiny bubbles and the test worked out exactly the way kit was planned to.
