I want to make sure I understand the concepts of DNS and DHCP.

When we query a URL in web browser, http://www.yahoo.com, the web browser
will connect to DNS server in our local ISP provider to get an IP address of
http://www.yahoo.com.

For DHCP server, it assigns a dynamic IP address to the machine. It is also
from our local ISP provider?

please advise. thanks!!
