to precipitate extracted DNA
Several DNA isolation protocols recommend the use of either ethyl or isoamyl alcohol for the precipitation step
Agarose is not used in DNA isolation. Agarose is used to prepare a gel in which DNA fragments can be separated based on size
Sucrose performs the function of osmoregulation in the protocol of DNA isolation from blood
The DNA fragments comes from the method of DNA isolation.

70% ethnol is used for the dna isolation becuse it makes hydrogen bonding with the water molecules and makes DNA hydrophopic so that it pricipitated.

According to me, we use alcohol because DNA is insoluble in alcohol, it aggregates together, giving a pellet in centrifugal and we can see a precipitated DNA with naked eyes (that we suppose to see in experiment i.e DNA extraction)....

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.
Sucrose performs the function of osmoregulation in the protocol of DNA isolation from blood
it act as as a cationic detergent for the isolation dna from the given sample
phenol is used in order to remove protein impurities from the DNA to yield pure dna while chloroform prevents shearing of DNA during isolation.
The DNA fragments comes from the method of DNA isolation.
Sodium acetate buffer helps by reacting with the membrane protein and precipitating them, thus facilitating the dna isolation.
phenol,chloroform,isoamyl alcohol,ethanol,CTAB reagent,Na acetate etc.. but nowadays, they use kits for any kind of DNA isolation, which makes their job easier.
