Most of the active volcanoes on earth are located in a belt known as the ring of fire.

The ring of fire is a large 40,000 km horseshoe shaped region situated in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. The ring of fire is characterized by constant sequence of plate movements, volcanic arcs and belts, and oceanic trenches. About 90% of all earthquakes and about 75% of all active volcanoes on earth occurs in the ring of fire.

When we extracted our own DNA last Friday, how did the things we used (Gatorade, alcohol, soap) relate to the things that are us

user100 [1]

Answer:

Soap solution functions to dissolve the cell membranes, alcohol is used to precipitate DNA, and Gatorade is a isotonic solution.

Explanation:

In the DNA extraction protocols, the cell membranes that are formed by lipidic bilayers can be dissolved by using detergent solutions that are functionally analog to soap solution, shampoo, etc. On the other hand, alcohol enables to precipitate DNA (because DNA is not soluble in alcohol), while proteins and other cellular components remain in the extraction solution. Finally, Gatorade is a isotonic solution that may be used to prevent the cells from lysing.
