Entire set of genetic instructions in organism's DNA

Having eight copies of each chromosome

Solution to break down cell membranes and release DNA

Breaks down fatty cell and nuclear membranes

Helps DNA clump together and separate from proteins

Makes DNA precipitate (become solid and visible)

Soluble in water but insoluble in alcohol

Thousands of DNA molecules clumped together

Enzymes in strawberries that help break down cell walls
