  1. #1-Soften the membrane around the nucleus where the DNA is located

    #2-Break down the enzymes in the nucleus that affect the DNA.


  2. 1) A - This is purely a guess, but I can rule out some of the others.  It's not B since fat is not soluble in water.  It's not C since the membrane is made up of proteins which aren't soluble in water, and it might be D depending on what concentration you need originally.

    2) B - Soften the fats in the nuclear membrane so the DNA can be released.  Detergent's are used to release things..either DNA, RNA or proteins from Cells

    3) D- DNA is insoluble in EtOH

    4) These are your observations, I can't really tell you this answer

    and 5) You'd most likely denature your DNA I'd believe

  3. 4 it is the shape of a "ladder", so what it looks like is a ladder twisted.
