I can't tell you how it is done in a high-tech lab, but this low-tech way will work!
1. Since we are dealing with a plant cell (such as peas), the cell walls need to be broken. This is done by adding water to the peas (or whatever you are using), and blending them for a few seconds.
2. Add a small amount of Dawn dishwashing liquid (breaks the cell and nuclear membranes).
3. Add a pinch of meat tenderizer (separates the proteins from the DNA).
4. Stir gently.
5. Put about an inch of the material into a test tube.
6. Carefully add about the same amount of rubbing alcohol so that the alcohol forms a layer on top of the "pea soup."
7. Since DNA is less dense than the "pea soup," it will rise and it enters the alcohol layer and appears as a white stringy material.
Try googling "how to extract DNA from anything living."

What is the function of liquid detergent in genomic DNA extraction?
Liquid detergent used in the genomic DNA extraction, emulsify plasma membrane and nuclear membrane promoting lysis. SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate) is an anionic detergent used in DNA extraction. It removes the positive ions from the proteins, due to this protein loses its conformation and gets destroyed thus the cell membrane gets damaged and cell gets broken.
Does a Cell plate form on animal cell or plant cell?
A cell plate forms only in plant cells during cell division. It forms in the middle of the cell during cytokinesis and eventually develops into a new cell wall. Animal cells do not have cell plates; instead, they undergo cytokinesis by a process called cleavage, where the cell membrane pinches in to separate the two daughter cells.
What two membranes need to be broken down to release DNA from a plant cell?
The cell wall and the cell membrane need to be broken down to release DNA from a plant cell. These barriers protect the DNA inside the cell and need to be disrupted to access the genetic material.
What types of cells which would form a cell plate during cytokinesis human skin cell animal cell plant cell or an amoeba?
A plant cell is the type of cell that forms a cell plate during cytokinesis. This structure helps in dividing the cytoplasm during cell division. Animal cells typically undergo cytokinesis by forming a cleavage furrow, while amoebas use a process known as binary fission.
What is a plant cell unable to pinch together?
A plant cell is unable to pinch together during cytokinesis because of its rigid cell wall, which prevents the cell membrane from constricting in the way animal cells do during cell division. Instead, plant cells form a new cell plate down the middle of the cell to separate the two daughter cells.
Why must the cells be broken open in DNA extraction and which organelle must be broken open?
Cells must be broken open during DNA extraction to release the DNA from the nucleus, where it is stored. The organelle that must be broken open is the nucleus, as it contains the cell's genetic material. This process allows the DNA to be separated from proteins, lipids, and other cellular components for further analysis or manipulation. Additionally, breaking open the cell membrane is essential to access the DNA.
What is the strong substance that makes cell walls?
Cellulose makes up the cell walls of plants, and is broken down during the cooking of potatoes as they have cellulose as they are classified as a plant.
What is the role of MgCl2 in plant protein extraction?
Function of MgCl2 in Protein Extraction Our work shows that MgCl2 in osmotic shock buffer at a concentration of 2 mM improves protein extraction and reduces contamination with other proteins. To achieve a simplified purification procedure for rhGM-CSF, work focused on adjusting the pH of the buffer and applying the correct salt concentration.

What is the male plant cell called?
The male plant cell is called a sperm cell or pollen cell. It is responsible for fertilizing the female plant egg cell during sexual reproduction in plants.
What is the function of sucrose in DNA extraction?
Osmotic shock is rapid change in solute concentration outside cell.If sucrose is provided to cell as hypotonic environment, the cell allows water to move in and swell resulting in bursting of cell.
What occurs during the cell in plant but not in animals?
formation of a cell plate
The cell wall of a plant cells can be chemically broken down to form what?
B. Protoplasts
How do all the parts of a plant cell work?
During nuclear division all parts of a plant cell work
Which would form a cell plate during the cell cycle?
A cell plate is formed during cytokinesis, the final stage of the cell cycle. It is found in plant cells and is responsible for separating the daughter cells after the nuclear division has occurred. The cell plate eventually develops into a new cell wall that separates the two daughter cells.
