Questions to think about after extracting banana DNA (write you answers below). What did the DNA look like? Do you think you used one ingredient that was more important than the others?
Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to extract DNA from a banana breaking down the walls of the cells, along with the plasma membranes and nuclear membranes. 3. Hypothesis My hypothesis is that adding dish soap, the membranes around the cells and the nuclei will break down, leaving the DNA alone (since dish soap breaks apart lipids and ...
This laboratory report includes the materials used for the experiment, set up, chronologically arranged procedure of the test, interpretation of results, and in the last portion, conclusion which will answer all the questions about DNA especially with the company of banana, our yellow saver.
Banana DNA Extraction Answer Page These are suggested responses to the questions in BLM M4: Banana DNA Extraction. 1. What is the role of the detergent? Detergent acts to pull apart the phospholipids and proteins that make up the membranes surrounding the cell and nucleus. Once these membranes are broken apart, the DNA is released
19 kwi 2016 · Extracting DNA in 10 Easy Steps. Mush the banana in the resealable bag for about a minute until all the lumps are gone and it almost looks like pudding. Fill a cup with the hot water and salt. Pour the saltwater mix into the bag. Close the bag and very gently squeeze and move the saltwater and banana mush together. Do this for 30 to 45 seconds.
If you took all of the DNA out of some middle-sized organism (or part of an organism, like a piece of fruit), you could see and even touch DNA. We will use common household products to break apart the cells in a banana and extract out the DNA. While you may know of the double-helix structure of DNA, you can't see that structure with the naked eye.
This laboratory report details an experiment to extract DNA from banana. Students will mash banana pieces, add a lysis buffer and detergent solution to break open cells, and precipitate DNA using ice-cold ethanol.
