Week 1 Activity Deliverable Template Name: Nicholas Matthews Course Code: STEM100 FALL 2022 Date: November 13, 2022 Step 1: Problem Understanding the impact of Climate Change on DNA Step 2: Background The common banana (Cavendish Bananas) is a common and resourceful food, while easy to grow the effects of global warming may have impacts. while the beginning phase of global warming showed an increase in production growth for bananas there may be a tipping point on when bananas can no longer resist the high temperatures and thus reducing yields or completely disappearing. Even disease and deadly funguses don't have as much of an effect as global warming does on these bananas in the future sustainability of them (Vaughan, 2019). If temperatures continue to rise the future for bananas is uncertain   without major GMOs added in out foods. Strawberries on the other hand come from a why diversity of genetics. (Genetics of Strawberry Plants). Due to the large variety of strawberries, there is more of an opportunity to find a less temperature sensitive at variation of the fruit.   Step 3: Question As global warming has effects on fruits, what fruit produces more DNA strawberries or banana? Step 4: Hypothesis Strawberries will produce more DNA due to the abundance of seeds versus that of a banana.
Step 5: Data The mixing of all solution The results of adding the cold ethanol The result after 1.5 hours

Step 6: Conclusions My original hypothesis thought that strawberries would produce more DNA due to the seeds. After conducting the experiment, the glass with the strawberries did produce more DNA than the banana. I believe This is due to the vast variety of strawberries first a limited numbers in subspecies of banana. I'm curious now on what other fruits would produce the most DNA when using this method and which ones would be the most beneficial to grow. I can understand how this experiment is used in a large scale to determine the future of farm growing and climate change.
