Abstract

Genetics is an important curricular component of the Biological Sciences discipline and a great study tool for scientists. The aim of this study was to verify the existence of DNA molecules in strawberry. To carry out the practice, DNA extraction was performed from the strawberry. A tangle of white strands can be seen between the solution and the alcohol, forming a 3-phase mixture. It can be concluded that DNA extraction from the strawberry is an easy practice to perform.
