A scientist made mistakes during DNA extraction. On his first attempt, he blended the sample too much for a long time. On his 2nd attempt, he used potassium acetate instead of sodium chloride. On his third attempt, he forgot to put C4H8O2. 1. Which attempt would be the highest based on increasing DNA purity? what about by increasing DNA yield? 2. Explain the effect of his mistakes in each of his attempts on the yield and purity of the DNA sample extracted. 3. Which attempt would be the most successful? Why?
