There would be more DNA in a strawberry because strawberries are octoploids, they have 8 copies of genes rather than 2 copies found in a cheek cells .
The most commonly cultivated strawberry, Fragaria ananassa, is an octoploid with eight sets. This makes it a good candidate for demonstrating DNA extraction - with eight copies of each gene in the strawberry genome, strawberries are packed full of it.
The hypothesis for a strawberry DNA project could be that strawberries contain DNA that can be extracted using household materials and that the DNA extraction process will yield visible strands of DNA.
The bacterial DNA and human DNA fragments that have been cut with the same enzyme can potentially recombine and form hybrid DNA molecules. This process is known as DNA recombination. The resulting hybrid DNA may contain a combination of genetic material from both the bacteria and the human.
Strawberries are good to use in a DNA extraction experiment because they have 8 times the amount of DNA than the average cell.
Yes. Human DNA is human DNA.
To determine the percentage of a strawberry's mass that is DNA, you would need to extract the DNA from the strawberry, quantify the amount of DNA extracted, and then divide it by the total mass of the strawberry. This calculation will give you the percentage of the strawberry's mass that is composed of DNA.
Same nucleic acids, same coding sequences, though many of those sequences are quite variant, same coding for protein products and many coding regions showing the taxonomic linkage, though very far apart, of these two eukaryotic organisms.

No, monkeys do not have human DNA. While humans and monkeys share a common ancestor, their DNA is not the same.

To extract DNA from a strawberry, you can mash the strawberry, mix it with a salt solution to break down the cell walls, filter out the solid parts, add alcohol to separate the DNA, and then carefully collect the DNA strands using a small stick or pipette.
There are several differences. First, you use different materials to conduct each proceedure. With plants, you need baking soda, with human DNA you do not. Also, with human DNA you do not want to mix your mixtures. You want to keep your tube still. With plant DNA, you have to flick your test tube to make the DNA appear. These are just a few of the differences in the proceedures.
