Two solutions often used to stain tissues are haematoxylin solution and iodine solution. • Haematoxylin solution stains DNA a blue colour. • Iodine solution stains starch a blue-black colour. The scientist used haematoxylin solution and not iodine solution to stain the lung tissue. Suggest why. Helppp
lung cells don't have much starch in them ( if any) lung cells do have DNA means that the lung tissues will be stained properly and visible under a microscope
