Phenol and chloroform are very hydrophobic and are used to remove non-polar bio- molecules (proteins, fragments of membranes, lipids etc) in the extraction.
chloroform is used to denature protein and settle it in the bottom during rna extraction ,also it helps to form organic and inorganic layers in which rna is dissolved in inorganic layer.
Chloroform was first used as an anesthetic in 1847.
Chloroform is no longer used for Surgery
Some times red coloured liquid is used but mostly gray coloured liquid is used.
to separate two layer.DNA is insoluble in alcohol so it will floats up and all other cell components will precipitate at the bottom of the test tube.CIA also helps to isolate the CTAB solution so it will be easy to obtain the DNA.

[1] The alcohol in alcohol thermometers tends to be pure ethanol, isoamyl acetate, kerosene, or toluene. [2] Ethanol tends to be the most widely used, because of its low cost and its low hazard potential in the event of breakage.
Phenol chloroform extraction is the oldest and still widely followed method for the isolation and extraction of DNA from plant and animal cells. The phenol, chloroform (and also isoamyl alchohol) are added in a specific ratio of 25: 24:1.Phenol: Phenol dissolves the organic impurities, like proteins etc.chloroform: Provides density to phenol so that it settles below water during phase separation.Isoamylalchohol: Used to prevent phosgene from reaction of chloroform with air.The Phenol:Chloroform:Isoamylalchohol (PCI) solution is added to the cell extract after removal removal of debris. After proper mixing, cetrifugation is done to separate the phases. Two phases are formed: The upper, the aqueous phase that contains DNA, the lower phase, that phenol phase, that contains organic impurities. Thus two phases are separated by a very clearly defined boundary of coagulated proteins.The aqueous phase is precipitated and then the DNA could be pelleted after rounds of purifications.

No, alcohol is a polar solvent and extracts only polar components while ether is used to extract the non polar constituents.
I'm not sure of particular brands. But, there is a little ethyl alcohol used to aid extraction. Natural vanilla flavoring is derived from using real vanilla beans with little or no alcohol.
DNA extraction is done by three methods: * Organic extraction * inorganic extraction * solid state method In organic extraction, phenol and chloroform are used to create on organic phase in which cells are lysed and DNA is freed. The DNA remains in the aqueous phase. Ethyl alcohol is used to precipitate the DNA. In the inroganic methos, NaCl and EDTA are used for cell lysis. Following this, an approach similar to the organic method is followed. In solid state extraction, DNA is first precipitated in the presence of high slat and low pH conditions. The precipitated DNA is then adsorbed on to a filter membrane surface.
