DNA Extraction

"In class we experimented to extract the DNA from strawberries. We did this by blending strawberries in a mixer. After taking the mix out, we added laundry detergent to the mix to separate the cells. Then we added meat tenderizer as an enzyme to separate the DNA. Then, we added alcohol to see and capture the DNA of the cells. The result were stringy white threads which were actually the DNA of the cell."
