what is cheese cloth in dna extraction
Activity 1 - DNA Extraction. 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. Filter the fruit mixture through the cheese cloth. 2  Combine solutions from all student groups at this point. 3  Let the solution drain 5 minutes. 4  Using the large transfer pipettes, aliquot approximately 2 ml of the kiwi/strawberry fruit solution into a test tube, one for each pair of students.
