  1. Add a small piece of peeled banana (2-3 cm) and 12mLextraction buffer (NaCl & Sodium Citrate) into the beaker.This buffer contains salts necessary for the precipitation ofthe DNA. The ions in the solution make it more polar facilitatingthe dissolving of the DNA.
  2. Add 3mL detergent into the beaker. This will breakopen the cells and dissolve the DNA. Detergent breaks up the lipidsof the plasma and nuclear membranes

Questions:

a. Why does a more polar solution make DNA more likely todissolve?
