Yesterday in Science, our class did an experiment that has to do with Kiwifruit.
Aim:
Our aim was to find out and separate the DNA of the Kiwifruit.
Equipment:
Kiwifruit, Liquid detergent, Salt, Ethanol, Test tube, Beaker, Cloth Strainer, Mortar and pestle, Ziplock bag.
Method:
1. Get the Kiwifruit and cut into half.2. Squeeze the Kiwifruit out of the skin. Put the squeeze Kiwifruit into Mortar and pestle.
4. In a mortar and pestle, mush the Kiwifruit, until all the big chunks are gone.
5. After mushing the fruit, put 2 squirts of liquid detergent.
6. After putting liquid detergent, strain the kiwifruit that has detergent in a cloth and put it in the ziplock bag.
7. Once you put it in a ziplock bag, get a pinch of salt. Set it for a few seconds.
8. Put the mixture in the test tube and put ethanol.
Observation:
After putting the ethanol I saw that the kiwifruit DNA separated to the kiwifruit.
Results:
We were able to see the DNA of the kiwifruit at the end of the experiment.
