MODEL RELEASED. DNA extraction experiment. Teenage boy pouring processed banana through a filter as part of a home experiment to extract DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) from a biological sample. The banana is cut up and mashed,and then placed in a beaker with warm water added. Washing detergent is added to break the cell membranes. The mixture is kept warm for 12 minutes,then placed in an ice bath for 5 minutes. After filtering (shown here),the liquid is pipetted into a test tube and salt and chilled isopropyl alcohol added. This precipitates the DNA. More chilling in ice (10 minutes) produces a visible mass of stringy DNA | |
