I am trying this as I type this. I read on a website what to do: get a DNA source (I plucked fresh grass from outside), blend it in a blender with 1/8 tsp salt and a cup of cold water, strained it, added 2 tbs. detergent, let it sit, and then put some of the solution in a small glass container (I used a 2oz size mini glass ketchup bottle), stir, after that add same amount of alcohol to the mixture. that should have given me a precipitate of pure DNA and RNA, appearing as a slimy whitish substance that should have been floating.. but it did not work for me. well it probably did but I could not see the DNA RNA. I am sure it is possible, the website I used:

used green split peas instead.

What are the 4 steps used to extract DNA?
This is an ambiguous question: are we talking about obtaining DNA samples from the person, are we talking about obtaining DNA from the specimen? Obtaining DNA from a person is as simple as swabbing the person's buccal mucosa, which is inside a person's cheek. Obtaining DNA from a specimen is a process by which DNA is extracted by using chemicals that emulsify the cells to extract the DNA, then centrifuging the mixture to extract it. The DNA is then pipetted into a radioactive gel that identifies each strand's DNA structure. The preparation is then x-rayed to reveal the unique DNA structure.
Why do scientists extract DNA?
Scientists might extract DNA for many reasons. In a homicide case, or a case in which an unidentified body has been found, scientists extract DNA from the bones (if only bones are found) to identify Null. To check for birth defects in humans or animals. *In an unidentified creature, scientists will want to check all deails *etc.
Do humans and grass share DNA?
Yes, they do. It is a small amount but interesting that we are related to grass.
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.

Purpose of pepsin in DNA extract?
Pepsin is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of proteins into polypeptides and amino acids through hydrolysis. In DNA extraction, this proteolytic processing is essential in dissolving the cellular and histone proteins that bind the DNA strands.
Why do you need to extract DNA?
Because it is the only way of life
