Final answer:
The statement is false; homogenization does not specifically refer to the suspending and dispersing of DNA throughout a filtrate, but rather to making a mixture homogenous, such as in the homogenization of milk.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that homogenization is a process that suspends and disperses the DNA throughout the filtrate is false. Homogenization usually refers to the process of making a mixture the same throughout. This concept is often applied to mixtures like milk, to ensure that the fat is evenly distributed and not separated. Homogenization in the context of DNA would not be about dispersing it throughout a filtrate. Instead, DNA extraction and purification processes might involve steps that separate DNA from other cellular components, but homogenization typically refers to cell lysing to break up cell structures and mix the contents evenly.
In the context of a dialysis experiment mentioned, the term refers to lactose homogenizing fructose, which then diffuses through a dialysis bag due to its smaller size. Lactose, being larger, cannot pass through the bag. Here, the term homogenized might be used loosely to describe how fructose is made to be in a uniform distribution within the solution before experimentation. However, homogenization does not specifically refer to the process by which substances like DNA or fructose are suspended and dispersed.
