8th Grade Ag class learning how to extract DNA from a strawberry.
DID YOU KNOW? Strawberries are the perfect choice for a DNA extraction lab for two very good reasons: (1) they yield way more DNA than other fruits, and (2) they are octoploid, meaning that they have eight copies of each type of DNA chromosome. (Human cells are generally diploid, meaning two sets of chromosomes.) These special circumstances make strawberry DNA both easy to extract and to see.
Thank you to all members of our military in all branches past and present living and dead. God bless you...and thank you.
