DNA isn't as easily freed from the cells with addition to dish detergent as it would be in wheat germ.

Which part of a living organism will we find DNA to extract?

DNA can be extracted from any cell, except for sex cells. Each cell contains a full set of your DNA, with the exception of sex cells, which have half. Typically, however, it is easiest to collect DNA from the blood, skin tissue, or saliva.


Smallest to largest cell nucleotide nucleus DNA chromosome?

Cell, nucleus, chromosome, DNA, nucleotide.


Why we can not extract DNA from RBCs?

We can not extract DNA from RBCs as they are without nucleus. only the source of DNA extraction is Leukocytes, RBCs are not good source of extraction but we can extract DNA from immature RBCs.


What is the best tissue to extract DNA from?

For humans, blood is easily accessible. There are standard procedures to safely obtain blood from an individual and DNA can be extracted from the white blood cells. However, DNA can also be obtained from hair and salivary swabs but these are not considered tissues.


First step in isolating DNA from cell?

what is the first step in isolating DNA from your cells? because, in eukaryotic cell, DNA never leaves the nucleus, so the first step is to breaking the nuccleus. That answer above is not entirely correct. The first most general step in DNA extraction is cell wall and membranes not just the nucleus. Recall that a eukaryotic cell has more than one cell wall you can not obtain DNA from the nucleus without going through the first ones. Prokaryotes are essentially the same although they are much easier to extract (bacteria) since they obviously have less membrane to go through Eukaryotes are more difficult in the sense one must mechanically or chemically degrade plant cells and animal cells.

Do you extract human DNA the same as animal DNA?

Yes. The DNA is found in the nucleus of every cell. It's simply a case of extracting the DNA from the cell.


Name of the cell that has DNA in a mitotically active tissue?

its definitely in an epithelial tissue...but the cell precisely is unknown..


Can you extract DNA from a skin cell?

yes u can because skin cellls are something that holds dna


How does dishwashing detergent extract DNA?

The detergent broke down the cell membranes.


How is anything genetically modified?

Scientists have the means to extract the DNA strand from a cell. Once the DNA strand is removed, it can be altered, then placed back into the cell. When the cell divides and multiplies - the new copies will retail the altered DNA rather than having the original.

Why is it difficult to extract DNA from mummies?

Because the fragments that can have DNA extracted are quite small and can't even give evidence, describe or identify one single gene.


Which has more DNA plant or animal tissue?

The amount of DNA in a cell is dependent on the organism and how many copies of the genome are present in a single cell. The amount of DNA in a plant cell and animal cell cannot be directly compared. There is no way of telling which one contains more DNA unless we look at specific examples.


Can you surgically remove your DNA?

Yes and No. It is possible to take a cell from the body and extract its DNA for study. This is mainly used in forensic science. However you would not be able to remove all the DNA in your body as it would kill you.
