Hello,
Will I get the same results with the DNA if I blend the strawberries, instead of squish them?

Hi. Results will be more accurate if you follow the procedure directly and squish the strawberries rather than blending them. It is important to smash the strawberries in order to break the cell walls, allowing the cytoplasm to leak out. Good luck with the experiment!
