Science conclusion

If detergent, papain, and alcohol are added to a plant cell, the DNA can be separated from the cell. When the detergent was added to the plant cell, the cell membrane broke apart releasing fat lipids. Then, papaine was added. The papain broke the protein that had the DNA. The DNA was now released. When the DNA was released a cloudy and dark thing was on the top of the surface.

The results of the experiment should be considered reliable because the alcohol was measured carefully. The other substances did not need to be carefully measured because the requirement was a pinch. This experiment was done very carefully and precisely to make sure everything turned out right.
From this experiment I learned how to extract DNA from a plant cell. This is a very useful to people who want to learn about DNA. The DNA from the plant cell can be studied or analyzed at a later time.
