describe two practical applicatons for being able to extract DNA from cells

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "DNA extraction use" to get these possible sources:

http://www.accessexcellence.org/AE/AEC/CC/DNA_extractions.html
http://www.courttv.com/onair/shows/forensicfiles/techniques/dna.html
http://invam.caf.wvu.edu/methods/spores/DNAextract.htm

Substituting "application" for "use," I found:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
