DNA EXTRACTION
Materials:
knife 1 cup of fruit
Table salt clean piece of cloth or strainer for filtering
resealable bag dishwashing liquid
70% rubbing alcohol (chilled) shot glass (or any transparent and narrow container resembling a test tube)
How to do the extraction:
Before you begin, make sure you have chilled your alcohol in the freezer for at least 3 hours. Room temperature alcohol will not work nearly as well as cold alcohol. Place about 50 mL of alcohol in the freezer to chill it and take it out only when you’re going to need it. (The alcohol will not actually freeze.)
1. The first thing you will need is a sample. Since DNA is found in all living…

DNA hybridization.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) .

There may be more than one correct answer; select all that apply. Two primers are needed to facilitate double stranded DNA extension. Denaturation, when the primers bind to the DNA template, is performed at the highest temperature. Extension is the step when the polymerase catalyzes nucleotide incorporation during polymerization. ATP, UTP, GTP, and CTP are all required for polymerization.arrow_forward

Crime Report: A thief has stolen a priceless collection of jewels from the Museum of Precious Jewels. Forensic technicians obtained skin cells from a forehead print left on the glass enclosure of the jewel exhibit. DNA has been isolated and PCR amplified for some of the standard STR loci.
