Kiwifruit DNA

Aim: To extract DNA from a Kiwi Fruit.
Material: Ethanol, Salt, Detergent, Kiwifruit, Test tube, Mortar & Pestle
Method
1. Get a kiwi fruit and chop it in half.
2.  Squeeze the fruit in a pestle and mash it with a mortar to break up the cell walls. (Keep mushing it until all the big chunks are gone)
3. After mashing it in, add 2 squirts of detergent
4. Strain the mixture in a cloth and put it in a zip lock bag, to remove all the chunks.
5. Add two pinch of salt in
6. Then strain it again into a test tube and add ethanol in.
Results: At the end of the experiment, I was able to see the DNA of the kiwi fruit floating at the top and all the juice were left at the bottom.
