The goal of our lab was to extract DNA from a strawberry. First what we did was take off the leaves of the strawberry and mash up the strawberry in a plastic bag. Then what we did was add shampoo to the solution in order to seperate the components of the strawberry and denature the proteins. Next we took the liquid solution of shampoo and strawberry and put it in a beaker. After this we added alcohol solution to the top of the beaker and let the alcohol further denature the liquid solution and expose the DNA from the rest of the solution. After this we inserted a small hook into the beaker and spun the hook around in order to catch the DNA.
