Plasmid isolation involves growing the plasmid under conditions that are suitable for genes to come into play. For example the gene for ampicillin resistance; the bacteria with plasmids are placed with ampicillin so their genes can be seen for those who survived. Sodium hydroxide acts a detergent in the extraction process. A detergent's main role is to break down cell walls and cell membranes. How so? They act as poking holes into membranes. However, for the isolation of plasmid, the NaOH acts
The actual role of phenol chloroform isoamyl alcohol in a plasmid DNA extraction is to purify the DNA. The alcohol will act in part as a detergent.

A plasmid is a small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecule that is distinct from a cell's chromosomal DNA. ... Researchers can insert DNA fragments or genes into a plasmid vector, creating a so-called recombinant plasmid. This plasmid can be introduced into a bacterium by way of the process called transformation.
Plasmids are double stranded DNA molecules that serve as vector to carry a foreign gene in to the host.
yes. Some bacteria can take up plasmids present in the solution around them or by getting the plasmid from another bacteria which possess a special "fertility" F-plasmid.
When the original function of the gene in the plasmid is altered or another gene is inserted in the non- coding region of the plasmid is called the recombinant plasmid.

F-plasmid (fertility plasmid) of any conjugative bateria or Ti-plasmid (tumor-inducing) of Agrobacterium tumaefaciens.
Plasmid is extrachromosomal DNA capable of self replication.
A plasmid which encodes genes for its own transfer.
