So, if anyone has ever done that experience.
Please explain those steps.
1-What does blending the onion do?
2-What does soap and NaCl (table salt) does?
3-Why do we have to heat the onion at 65 C for 15 minutes?
4-Why put the mixture on ice for 5 minutes right after?
5-Why filter the mixture? (Sounds stupid but...)
6-Why does putting ethanol in the mixture separate the DNA of the onion from it's source?
Thank you.
I know, I didn't get any of my experimentation but the teacher said we had to search the web to understand it.
That's what I'm doing.
Thank you.

Brown Sugar: Err I think it's because we want a purer DNA but I have to do an assignment which explains every step in detail (in french, so it's not plagiarism) so I like your answer but it doesn't help that much.
