Grade:

Teacher:

1. Testing which chemical affects the structure of DNA the most, hydrogen peroxide or vinegar. 2. I like to do experiments that involve working in a science lab and are related to human health. 1. The vinegar solution caused the most damage to the extracted strawberry DNA compared to the hydrogen peroxide 2. It is important when you study different diseases like cancer (DNA mutation) and Alzheimer’s disease (oxidative stress and DNA damage in neurons). Keywords: DNA structure, hydorgen peroxide, vinegar, DAPI
