Answer #1

The two characteristics that allow DNA to be spooled out on a glass rod are as follows:

1) Due to its long length it gets spooled on a glass rod.

2) In the presence of cold isopropanol the DNA is precipitated due to a reaction which allows the formation of the hydrogen bonds between the nucleiotides. As a result the DNA becomes more twisted because of efficiently packed which causes restoration of DNA helix.
