During this lab we asked the question "How can DNA be separated from cheek cells in order to study it?" We found out that after scraping our cheeks with our teeth we sued a Gatorade solution to separate the DNA from the cheek cells. Our data shows that when alcohol is added to a mixture of Gatorade, soap, and enzymes the DNA gets extracted and floats to the top. This could be related to DNA vodcasts during unite 5. This data supports our claim because it shows how we extracted the DNA and what solution we used.
Our data contradicts the expected results because we had to put the procedure in the correct order our selfies. We were able to get the right order for the lab but it could have failed if we did the order of the procedure wrong. Getting the order of the procedure wrong could result in something different or nothing happens. I recommend that you read the parts of the procedure carefully to help you put them in the right order. I also recommend that you bring in fruit so you can extract the fruits DNA instead of yours.
This lab was to demonstrated how DNA is extracted from the cheek cells. From this lab I learned how to correctly extract DNA from the cheek which helps me understand the concept of DNA extraction and examination. Based on my experience from this lab I could extract the DNA from a fruit.
