It allows DNA to extract from the wheat germ.


Why use raw wheat germ and not toasted wheat germ for a DNA extration procedure?

The toasting or any heat is going to break down the DNA I would think.


Why doesn't toasted wheat germ work for DNA extraction?

Toasted wheat germ contains compounds that can interfere with the DNA extraction process, such as fats and proteins. These compounds can inhibit DNA isolation and purification by binding to or degrading the DNA molecules. It is recommended to use fresh, unprocessed wheat germ for successful DNA extraction.


Which cell part must be destroyed in order to release DNA from wheat germ cells?

The cell part that must be destroyed to release DNA from wheat germ cells is the cell membrane. The cell membrane acts as a barrier that surrounds the cell and protects its contents, including the DNA. Breaking down the cell membrane allows access to the DNA contained within the cell.


Is wheat pollard not for human consumption when in fact it is from wheat like wheat bran?

Germ is actually short for germination. Referring to the way plants reproduce. The germ is the zygote of the plant. It's where all the DNA instructions is held in the plant. The germ has the most nutrients, it is a small piece at the bottom of the grain. The bran is the thin layer surrounding the endosperm. The endosperm is the part that you eat when you eat white bread or rice. The bran a thin shell, the germ is a separate part at the bottom of the grain piece. The bran has most of the fiber, the germ has alot of the nutrients. The endosperm is the part of the grain which is starch.

How is DNA different between somatic and germ cells?

in germ cells, the DNA(Deinoribo Nucliec Acid) is more of a circular shape.in most other organisms, the DNA is in the familier double helix structure


Why is it difficult to extract DNA from a cell fat tissue?

It is difficult to extract DNA from fat tissue because of the high lipid content in the cells. Lipids can interfere with the DNA extraction process by binding to the DNA and preventing it from being isolated effectively. Specialized protocols and reagents are needed to remove the lipids and extract the DNA successfully from fat tissue.


Was the Germ theory bigger than the discovery of DNA?

Both the Germ theory and the discovery of DNA were significant milestones in the field of biology. The Germ theory laid the foundation for our understanding of infectious diseases, while the discovery of DNA revolutionized our understanding of genetics and inheritance. It is challenging to definitively say which was bigger, as they each had a profound impact in different aspects of biology.


Can you use the same protocol for wheat germ DNA extraction on bacteria?

Likely as not yes you can because cellular components are still the same. but if you list the specific protocol and the reagents used, I can confirm more definitely. just post on my msg board if you want further help


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.
