Why is the DNA yield higher from 1g of strawberry compared to 1gof Arabidopsis leaves when both homogenised by hand? O Strawberry fruit contain hydrolytic enzymes which help to break down the cell walls of plant cells making DNA more accessbile It is not, they both have the same yield Leaves contain chlorophyll Strawberries contain more DNA
