Obsidian is a volcanic glass. It is produced when magma from volcanoes is cooled and solidifies rapidly, before there is time for crystals to grow. It is usually black in color. It shatters like glass and makes excellent axe and arrow heads and the main mineral in it is quartz (silica).

Bedrock is the solid rock that lies underneath the soil in broken, weathered rock. It is not found beneath anything in particular, it simply lies below the loose weathered material on the surface. Bedrock may be many different types of rock that extend for kilometers down into the earth's crust.

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Sodium chloride removes proteins from DNA and helps in DNA precipitation.

Explanation:

The Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is negatively charged due to the highly polar phosphate groups that make up the phosphate backbone. The molecules of water are also highly polar and they have positive charge, thereby water molecules interact with the negative charges of the DNA. The sodium chloride generates temporary attraction forces between sodium (positive) ions and the DNA backbone (negative), thereby DNA can be disassociated from the aqueous layer. Moreover, sodium chloride helps to remove proteins (histones) that bound to DNA and also helps to maintain proteins in the aqueous layer.
