My project is about the extraction of DNA from strawberries. The driven questions for my project are; what procedure is used to extract DNA from cells strawberries and how does each step of the procedure help in isolating DNA from other cellular material? We will extract DNA from fruit to investigate how it looks and feels. This procedure is similar to what scientists have to do before they can use the information contained in this DNA. This information can be used to improve crops so that they are more resistant to disease, insect invasion or changes in climate.
To extract DNA from cells, you must you isolate it from in the case of a plant such as strawberry and all the other parts of the cell - the cell wall, cell membrane, nuclear membrane, mitochondria, vacuoles, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, etc.
