stores the genetic information of an organism
DNA
transmits that information from one generation to another.
DNA
translates the genetic information contained in DNA into proteins needed for all cellular function
RNA
Responsible for protein synthesis

- crush cell wall
Blender
Homogenizing solution
Salt and Dishwashing liquid
- removes the lipids and push DNA to the salt solution
dishwashing liquid
- increases separation of DNA from hydrophobic layer; aggregates DNA
sodium chloride
– promotes aggregation of DNA and wash the DNA from the salt
cold ethanol
