I think you mean 5-6 atoms wide, not long, otherwise a strand of DNA would have almost no information in it at all, and we wouldn’t be able to see them at all at the macroscopic level. Every single base pair in the DNA strand required about two dozen atoms or so. In reality, the DNA strand is millions if not billions of base pairs long, depending on the organism.
It's a fun science experiment often done in biology classes, and can be done with most things! I believe one can achieve the same result if tested with a banana, for example lol
The detergent helps to break open or "lyse" the cells so that the DNA gets released, and by adding salt it makes the DNA less soluble in water and helps to remove proteins that are bound to the DNA. Finally, cold alcohol solution will cause the DNA to precipitate for us to be able to see it. I plan on making a full video for this to explain it a bit better:)
Can you do the same expiremrnt with another fruit and would like to see if it can be distinguished. I would think yes because dns is unique and will have a different combination. Also, who's much DNA is needed to identify a single strand of human. hair?
It's still interesting that even if it's a clump of DNA the fact that you can even still make out any kind of coil or strand shape is really interesting to me
For those of you wondering why the DNA is still visible if it’s so tiny, it’s because the DNA isn’t just DNA by itself, in between individual strands of DNA and full chromosomes, the DNA will wind around certain proteins and itself several times into coils and strands, with varying thicknesses, the more it winds up before becoming a chromosome. The process he does unwinds the chromosomes and the larger pieces of the DNA but it is still a lot of individual strands coil together, which is what we see under the microscope, we are not looking at individual strands of DNA unfortunately.
Lol that’d be mortifying, but look up Rosalind franklin and her colleague (forgot his name), they were the first people to get an image. They used x-ray crystallography to somehow identify the image or structure of what DNA looks like.
Well since u did not add any proteinase I think a lot of that can be proteins too cuz in our college we have performed extraction dna from fruits and bacteria and lot of time the dna we extract is not exactly the pure dna but a mixture of protein and DNA if the steps are not followed properly Do correct me if I m wrong 😅
Water from an old smelly dish sponge, then microwave the same wet sponge for three minutes and check it again please? I'd love to see if microwaving it would get it to a high enough temperature to kill the bacteria. By wet I mean run it under some water and throw it on a plate or bowl to microwave it, not submerged in water. I would really appreciate you doing this. 🙏
If you do this your microwave would become extremely infected with germs and consequently anything you make in it. I sure hope you aren't doing this or know someone that is
New subscriber!! May I ask what kinda microscope you use?! I freakin loooove science, chemistry and microbiology. Like, might as well make this one of my hobbies 😅🤩
remembering my biotechnology classes ..My professor was a great teachers nd he randomly shared this experiment using pineapple. That was out of syllabus for plus 2 curriculum but they way he shared i still remember his passion in that field.. i hv his notes even now . Nd thank you sir for those wonderful classes.!!

Yeah, I wasn’t sure I heard that right the first time I watched this.
Yeah that threw me off too
I thought the same thing
I just want everyone to know that I also thought the same thing.
Length and width aren't correct forms of measurement. They are relative.
I still can't believe DNA is a physical visible thing and not just an abstract concept
Why? We can expel DNA from our bodies and it looks similar.
It's a fun science experiment often done in biology classes, and can be done with most things!

well DNA is inside nucleus
so way smaller than cell itself
nvm, inside nucleus are chomosomes, which is made up of strings of DNA
Its not lol this is fake asf
I like how it kind of sounds like you're saying "microscOOp" sometimes. It's cool.
A very small scoop
I would love an explanation of what the solution does to the strawberry.

@@CloseIntel That's so interesting!! I'm looking forward to the video. 🍓
@CloseIntel pretty fascinating.
Gotta say, your voice also helps to want to listen. Like a scientist voice you want to listen to.
Can you do the same expiremrnt with another fruit and would like to see if it can be distinguished. I would think yes because dns is unique and will have a different combination. Also, who's much DNA is needed to identify a single strand of human. hair?
@@CloseIntel Thanks for your explanation, I was going to ask a similar thing till I saw your answer here.
It's still interesting that even if it's a clump of DNA the fact that you can even still make out any kind of coil or strand shape is really interesting to me
When I was in high school biology class, our teacher had us do this experiment. It was super interesting.
this experiment is called as isolation of dna, we did it back in school days, mann thanks for giving us good old memories

Histone proteins!
Nice explanation!
So I’m not sure if it’s already been done but I’d love to see water of a public pool under the microscope
How many different samples of different pools from what areas at what stages of use or treatments or cleaning.. etc. Far too many variables.
@@shaneh1003 uhhhhhh…go to the nearest public pool with a lot of people swimming and get a sample of it.
@@manjitkapri1816 Yes lol. Any pool is fine, doesn't matter. We just want to see it!
@@shaneh1003 well I didn't think that much of variable when I wrote the comment, any pool that people swim in is fine by me!
@@The52Hz Good point. Any pool that people SWIM in is fine. 😅
How many likes do we need to get you until you can buy an electron microscope?
An electron microscope might cost few hundred thousands... I'm not sure
This is the ultimate question.
Just pump bitcoin into 100K and SHIB to 10 cents , he can buy Electron Microscope in no time.
How much do those cost?
@@candyluna2929 $50,000 to $1,000,000 according to Google
Kudos to Watson and crick
Rosalind Franklin too
"And I'm going to carefully mix it up"
*Proceeds to violently crush and mix the two solutions together*
Class 12 biology experiment 😅
We used banana instead of strawberry
This is such an amazing channel. I love seeing your videos.
Imagine this is how we found what DNA looks like; some guy putting humans in plastic bad and crushing them up while other humans are in the background
Pretty close, actually.
Lol that’d be mortifying, but look up Rosalind franklin and her colleague (forgot his name), they were the first people to get an image. They used x-ray crystallography to somehow identify the image or structure of what DNA looks like.
Welcome to the dark side of biology💀
We did this w bananas in college biology. It was super awesome!
We tried it with papaya pulp back in 12th grade !
Oooh I had to do this for a school project thing.
I’m curious if the results would be different if the strawberry was warm
huh that was soo satisfying that made my day!
Could u try putting kombucha under a microscope? Love ur vids 😘😘
The most bizarre bartender tricks I had ever seen
Science class was never as interesting as this video.
That may be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on here.
Imagine doing that to a human body
Well since u did not add any proteinase I think a lot of that can be proteins too cuz in our college we have performed extraction dna from fruits and bacteria and lot of time the dna we extract is not exactly the pure dna but a mixture of protein and DNA if the steps are not followed properly
Do correct me if I m wrong 😅
Same... No enzyme means most of it is protein.
HOWTOBASIC in a nutshell
Kinda looks a tangled up spider wed
Wow. Nice 👍🙂
I didn't know i was washing away my DNA everytime i used dish soap 😱
From a very good source they say that the average strawberry has over 20 pesticides that are on the outside and inside
Water from an old smelly dish sponge, then microwave the same wet sponge for three minutes and check it again please? I'd love to see if microwaving it would get it to a high enough temperature to kill the bacteria. By wet I mean run it under some water and throw it on a plate or bowl to microwave it, not submerged in water. I would really appreciate you doing this. 🙏

DNA=polynucleotide
many nucleotides?
Thank you for doing what I've always wanted to do.
It's absolutely wild that you can do this
Forbidden DNA
It is mind boggling to think of just how small these systems are. Beautiful work!
We all know what it truly looks like
We have this" isolation of dna from any fruit" in our biology lab for 12 board practical and I love it very fun to do 😊
Never again shall I do the dishes under the influence, for fear of a DNA meltdown. Does explain my children, though.
that dishwashing liquid is nice, huh? ☺️
Cool, I really enjoy you videos
I'm obsessed with this channel
This was literally my school project 😅 extraction of DNA from strawberries. 😅
Thank you for posting this to satisfy our curious minds... i just hope someday somebody does things involved cymatics; sound wave stuff.
Absolutely beautiful, love your work
I remember doing this in ap bio. Was cool
bro made a smoothie
If you eat that dna would you become a straw berry
Thanks man
"Microscoop" 💀
Absolutely amazing!
Fascinating!
I'm highly impressed on the prep work involved to get the actual DNA of the berries. That is awesome, my friend 😀
I remember doing that in my college chemistry lab, i was so flabbergasted when i saw the hairy fuzz in the solution
Yeah my globs of DNA look like that too
New subscriber!! May I ask what kinda microscope you use?! I freakin loooove science, chemistry and microbiology. Like, might as well make this one of my hobbies 😅🤩
I am so fascinated by your videos
Tx 4 sharing
Excellent. Thank you.
Looks like cells to me with nucleus.
You are providing a really good informative videos, you really need an electronic microscope.
I’ve seen this experiment on school projects and have always wondered what is it about strawberries that we can get their DNA so easily.
Thank you Ron Swanson
remembering my biotechnology classes ..My professor was a great teachers nd he randomly shared this experiment using pineapple. That was out of syllabus for plus 2 curriculum but they way he shared i still remember his passion in that field.. i hv his notes even now . Nd thank you sir for those wonderful classes.!!
We did that in my biology class
This is very interesting!
Imagine eating that and becoming the strawberry man
Looks like my eye floaters
I think u can get it from saliva too right ? I think we did that in my biology class
Never thought I cold see an atom under a microscope anyway!
It's same as class 12 biology practical "DNA isolation from plant species"
Those round thing are histone protien for sure
Something so small in just the size of 5-6 atoms can drastically mutate the bodies of the living things...
テスト期間中にこんな歌聞かせやがって…脳内で無限に再生されてるし単位落としたらどうすんだよ😢
sir instead of freezing you can add chilled ethanol
We did this in school, class 12th practical
Ever do coffee?..
Yes!!! Thank You Bro!
I did a similar thing with cheek cells but it was harder to see because of all of the dead cells. I should try this!
Did you directly put it under the microscope or you have dried it first?
It be a cool experiment to test a variety of water filter bottles. The ones made to collect water while.hiking/camping from outdoor water sources.
Thanks for sharing
Somebody needs to make dna thread
Welp, I hav a new science project for my kids homeschooling. My ninja
And then you have me who needs at least 2 days to do a DNA extraction😂
You sound like Bob from bob's burgers 😅
Wow 😲❤ great 😊
Now Let's Use Biotechnology
Class 12 DNA ISOLATION EXPERIMENT
Did this in my biology for majors class. It was like boogers, and it dissolves quickly too
That my fruit!!!
That is amazing
Interesting, we did this same experiment in school but with cucumber
Amazing 😍💕
DR SQUATCH SOAP VS SWEAT
whats with Colanor fanta under the microscope?
I saw the AT and GC base pairs.
It is our 12th class bio prec. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can you extract human DNA like that? 😅
What about rain 🌧️ water, want to see
Dinner is ready kids... we're having strawberry DNA with soap.
Amazing work by the way
that was very cool
