There are many biology science project possibilities these days. Many of them focus on plants, and animals and how they grow. One project that has not been overdone, and can be done in many different ways is the biology science project that extracts DNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA is the building block of any living organism. Each cell of every organism carries inside it the DNA of that living thing. This project shows students how to extract DNA, making it original each time because there are so many living things to choose from!  The simplest living thing you can extract DNA from is a fruit. Try getting a fruit that you can easily mash. A banana, a mango, or a papaya are some good examples of fruit that can be mashed. This project uses the knowledge that DNA is stored in the cells of a fruit, and that the DNA in the cells can be extracted once the cells are more separated or mashed up. The DNA from the fruit will be extracted by a mixture of liquid detergent, distilled wat...
