SDS is a detergent. Is is used in DNA isolation to denature proteins. Proteins are an essential component that maintain the integrity of the cell membrane. When SDS is added, proteins are denatured, thus making it easier for the cell membrane to break and liberate its inner contents.
Also, DNA is found associated with proteins called histones. These proteins have to be removed to obtain DNA in a pure form. SDS is used here as well

What is the use of sarkosyl in DNA isolation?
it is SDS like detergent added at to lyse cells
What does ctab use for isolation of DNA from animal blood?
CTAB is a detergent used to denature proteins from samples. Once the protens have been denatures, the isolation of DNA from the non required waste materials can begin.
Use of agrose in DNA isolation?
Agarose is not used in DNA isolation. Agarose is used to prepare a gel in which DNA fragments can be separated based on size
Can you use spirit for DNA precipitation?
Several DNA isolation protocols recommend the use of either ethyl or isoamyl alcohol for the precipitation step
Why is DNA wash buffer used in DNA extraction?
It helps break the nuclear membrane of the cell. Detergent containing the compound SDS ( sodiumdodecyl sulfate) is used to break down and emulsify the fat and proteins that make up a cell membrane.

What is the principle involved in the isolation procedure?
DNA isolation is a based on the principle of purification. DNA samples are isolated through the use of physical and chemical methods. Friedrich Miescher conducted the first isolation of DNA in 1869.
Why use chloroform in DNA isolation?
DNA is soluble in chloroform more than water. So we use it.
Why you use LiCl in plasmid isolation by telt method?
helps in DNA ppt

Is DNA smaller or bigger than a protein?
Let's put it this way, we know that electrophoresis is a test for the sizes of the fragments of DNA molecules while SDS-page is a test of the size of protein molecules. If you use electrophoresis to test the differences of protein, there will not be any bands as all the protein will travel to the end of SDS-page. Therefore, we can conclude that the pores of electrophoresis is much more larger than SDS-page. Since electrophoresis has larger pores than SDS-page, it also shows that overall DNA is larger than protein in size.
What is the use of alkaline lysis solution 1 in plasmid isolation?
it helps to homogenize the cell and give single cell suspension
Can I use SDS plus drill bits in a standard SDS power drill?
If the bit fits and locks into the chuck you can use it.

Why do scientists use the white blood cell when extracting DNA in gentic screening?
White blood cells (unlike red blood cells) have nuclei containing genetic material. Since DNA is present within the white blood cells and since blood is easy to obtain from the body, scientists use white blood cells to extract DNA
