Abstract
The purpose of this experiment is to isolate and characterize
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from onion cells. DNA is a genetic material
composed of three (3) parts: a ribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a
nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, uracil, thymine). In the experiment,
isolation of onion cells DNA was undergone through homogenization
process which separates other cell components from the genetic material.
Afterwhich, the isolate is tested for its concentration and purity (via spectro
analysis) and characterized using different test (Murexide test, Dische
reaction, Wheeler-Johnson test, and phosphate test). The results observed
were: DNA was found to have a ___/___ ratio ____ (according to studies,
pure DNA should have __/__) and, for most of the groups, a positive results
for each test stated above.
