applications. While conducting the experiment, I realized that the DNA can be used in
analyzing the genes. DNA extracted from cheek cells can be used for the identification
genetic variations linked to various genetic disorders. The information can be valuable
in assessing your risk for certain diseases and can contribute to early detection or
prevention efforts.
The salt and water serve to create a hypertonic solution, it aids the extraction of
cheek cell in order to get the DNA. And by adding the dishwashing liquid soap it breaks
down the cell membranes and release the DNA into the solution. The alcohol-induced
precipitation is a simple and visible way to isolate DNA. The floating material observed
Since DNA is a fundamental part of biotechnology there are several factor that
the DNA attained through cheek cell extraction can be use in biotech. It can be used for
medical diagnostics such as for Personalized Medicine and Disease Risk Assessment.
Cheek cell DNA extraction supports the concept of personalized medicine, where
medical treatments can be tailored based on an individual's genetic information, leading
genetic makeup and provides insights into inherited conditions, facilitating proactive
health management.
