The DNA extraction solution is not forming a layer after adding alcohol.
Ensure that the alcohol used is cold and poured slowly over the back of a spoon to create a gentle layer. If the alcohol is not cold enough, place it in the freezer for a few minutes before use.
The extracted DNA appears to be too clumpy or not visible.
Make sure to thoroughly mash the strawberries to break down the cell walls. Additionally, ensure that the extraction solution (soap, salt, and water) is mixed well before combining it with the strawberry mash.
The DNA is not visible after the extraction process.
Ensure that you used cold ethanol for the precipitation step, as warm ethanol can dissolve the DNA. Additionally, make sure that you thoroughly mixed the strawberry mash with the soap and salt solution to break down the cell membranes.
The strawberry mixture is too watery and not forming a layer with the alcohol.
Check that you are using the correct ratio of soap and salt to the strawberry mixture. If the mixture is too watery, you may need to use fewer strawberries or increase the amount of soap and salt to help release the DNA more effectively.
