Strawberries are octaploid, which means they have 8 copies of each type of chromosome inside the nucleus of each
cell. Strawberries have 7 chromosomes, so they have a total of 56 chromosomes in every cell. Bananas are triploid,
which means they have 3 copies of each type of chromosome inside the nucleus of each cell. Bananas have 11
chromosomes, so they have a total of 33 chromosomes in every cell.
2. Which three components make up a DNA nucleotide? Are any of these components charged (+/-)? Are any
polar?
Each nucleotide is made up of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar (deoxyribose),
and a phosphate.

3. Describe the polarity of the two components of a phospholipid.
A phospholipid is made of a polar head (which includes the phosphate
group and the glycerol molecules) and 2 non-polar fatty acid tails. The
head is hydrophilic and the tails are hydrophobic. Phospholipids make up
cell membranes and form a bilayer. The polar heads stick out towards the
water-based fluids, whereas the non-polar tails face inwards, toward
each other.
3. Considering the effect of soap on the oil and water solution in Experiment 1, and soap's effect on greasy
dishes, describe the action of the soapy extraction buffer on the cellular and nuclear membranes. Correctly use
the following terms: amphipathic, non-polar, polar.
Soap break the cell and nuclear membranes resulting in the release of DNA from the cell.
hipathic as it contains a polar head and non-polar tail. Similarly, the nuclear
