Results:
Discussion: Where do you find DNA?DNA is located in the nucleus in forms of chromosomes. What makes up DNA? DNA is made up of genes, genes are sections of DNA, your traits like your hair colour, eye colour ect.
Conclusion: Did it work? would you do anything differently? It did work very well we managed to separate the solution and found the DNA. I wouldn't do anything differently.
