Kiwi Fruit DNA Extraction

 Hello guys, welcome to my blog, today I'm blogging about the DNA extraction that we did in Science class. We use kiwi fruit to find the DNA Extraction.


Equiptment: 

  • A kiwi fruit
  • Knife 
  • Water
  • Plastic sealable bag
  • Plastic cup/beaker
  • Coffee filter
  • Bamboo skewer or spatula
  • Test tube
  • Dishwashing liquid
  • Rubbing alcohol
Method: 
  • Cut the kiwifruit into half and the skin.
  • Put half of the kiwifruit into the plastic sealable bag and mush the kiwifruit. 
  • Put a splash of water into the bag with a squirt of dishwashing liquid.
  • Put the coffee filter on top of the plastic cup/beaker. 
  • Pour the liquefied fluid on the coffee filter and collect the juice in a beaker.
  • Carefully pour half a quarter of rubbing alcohol into the test tube. This will cause two different phases.
  • After you see some precipitation, take the slimy wad of kiwifruit DNA. 
  • There you have it! You have kiwifruit DNA.
