Aim - To separate and find the DNA in the kiwifruit
Ingredients - Ethanol, Salt, Detergent, Kiwifruit, Mortar, Pestle
Method
First we cut the the kiwifruit in half then we peeled and mashed the kiwifruit with and pestle and Mortar to help us mash it a lot easier we added the detergent in , once it was mashed well we poured it into a zip lock bag and added a pinch of of salt to it not long after we added a little bit of ethanol at a time to the bag and mixed it around once we were happy with what it looked like we then waited a bit for the DNA cells to be relieved
Hey Aroha,
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool experiment. Do you have any photos of what the DNA looks like once it is reviled? Do you think you would be able to do this with any other type of fruit?
Look forward to hearing from you,
Miss Morgan
