DNA Extraction Conclusion

Just the other day in science class we all did a DNA extraction. Sounds cool doesn't it? Well you and your partner had to choose between extracting DNA from animal cells or plant cells. I chose plant cells. I started with a vial filled with strawberry juice and then I needed to fill it with different things to make the DNA come out into the alcohol we put in later. I then looked closely at the alcohol and I saw DNA floating around inside of it. We added ingredients like enzymes and more. This somehow made the DNA extract from the cells. This was very interesting and I thought this was a very fun experiment.

Florida lab growing new life?

Scientists in a flordia lab are creating new lifeforms. How is this possible? Will this soon lead to humans creating whole new anime species or even sentient lifeforms capable of living among us? Well that's going a bit too out of hand for todays current technology. At the rate we're going, which is pretty fast, that may be possible in the next few centuries. Right now in this florida lab they are creating the first synthetic life form capable of Darwinian evolution. Darwinian evoluton is the theory of evolution using natural selection. Charles Darwin created one of the basic concepts for the modern theory of evolution. The scientists at the florida lab say that the experiment, named AEGIS, is evolving like it was expected to do. This is a monumental achievment and will surely lead onto greater things.
