Its in the kiwi dna

today in science we extracted dna from a kiwi fruit. First we mashed the kiwi fruit. we added salt and water ( salt binds to the dna which will help us later). We added dish soap and heated the liquid. We then added chilled ethenol which brings out the salt which binds to the dna.

here we are heating the kiwi/dishsoap/salt/water mixture.

Here we have the dna extracted from the rest of the kiwi cells.
