4 multiple choice 1 point why was salt (nacl) included in the homogenizing solution? to neutralize charges and stabilize dna to make the dna more soluble in water to dissolve lipids to break down rna clear my selection
In DNA - related experiments, salt (NaCl) in the homogenizing solution neutralizes the negative charges on the phosphate groups of DNA. This neutralization helps to stabilize the DNA structure. Lipid - dissolving agents are usually detergents, not salt. Salt does not make DNA more soluble in water in the context of homogenizing solution's function, and it does not break down RNA.
