    Finally. I remember doing this experiment in school and telling people I extracted DNA and looked at it under a microscope. I could never remember the exact thing I used to get it and have looked for this experiment before.

    Note that the soap breaks down the cell MEMBRANES (made of fats) - not the cell walls (made of carbohydrates).

      Good question.. keep asking and do your own search to get answers and do this always and you’ll become a scientist. Just requires to put in hours.

    Isn’t dna supposed to super long chain molecule like can be many centimeters long. Just wondering how it passes through filter pores? Perhaps kind of slides through lengthways? Can’t the strawberry be crushed by eg with a mallet or in a food mixer or would that break dna molecules? Maybe we can get the dna out and test it somehow.?

    odd question. Can you do this from your own blood.

    • @Pomerinka
      @Pomerinka 2 роки тому +2

      Actually, you can. As a molecular biology student I wouldn’t recommended to anyone doing it as an experiment at home. You would need a lot of blood to do this at home and you could even fail. So it is not worth it at all. You could try it with your own saliva instead. It is much more efficient.

    • @profEpic-by2pm
      @profEpic-by2pm 3 роки тому +1

      the cell walls are broken down by the washing liquid because washing liquid contains chemicals that are quite good at breaking down cells. thats why we use it to clean things because it breaks down unwanted cells.
