The isopropanol will extract the DNA from the strawberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Strawberries help in DNA extraction as it has enzymes and pulverizes easily which breaks the cell wall and has large number of DNA in it. The isopropanol helps in precipitating the DNA.

In an experiment of DNA isolation, a squashed and refrigerated strawberry was added in a isopropanol solution after filtering it. It can be seen DNAs are starting to isolate from the strawberry extract in the form of fluffy bubbles.
