we done an experiment where we extracted the DNA from strawberry, grape, and peas. With the strawberries, we were able to find its DNA in the solution very easily because it was floating on the top. But for the grapes we were only able to see very small clumps which we weren't able to collect. And for the peas, we weren't able to see anything or collect any of their DNA.

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
