Answer:
When helicase mutations occur, problems in DNA replication are found. The helicases are proteins that open the 2 strands of DNA to initiate the duplication, they are responsible for breaking the hydrogen bonds between the two DNA chains, thus separating the chains, also they have the function of repairing DNA mutations, if there is mutation in the gene that encodes them, various functions will be absent in the cell.
Answer:
There are many questions that can be answered by science but I will provide some examples below.
Explanation:
Science involves many areas of study, <u>from biology and chemistry to physics and neuroscience</u>. Generating questions and providing answers are the most important steps in science as this process has allowed thousands of scientists to develop new drugs to treat previously-mortal diseases, to protect endangered species, to prevent population declines, to understand the behavior of fauna, among many other remarkable outcomes and discoveries.
In this answer, I will focus on some questions belonging to the life sciences areas that can be answered by science:
Biology
<em>How does climatic phenomena, such as El Niño and La Niña, affect the migration of whales?</em>
<em />
Neuroscience (humans)
<em>Is schizophrenia hereditable?</em>
<em />
Behavioral Ecology
<em>Does climate change affect the capability of cuttlefish to camouflage?</em>
Neuroscience (Animals)
<em>Are killer whales capable of problem-solving?</em>
<em />
Ecology
<em>How does the reduction of apex predator populations (terciary consumers) affect the population of secondary consumers?</em>
<em />
Conservation Biology
<em>Why do increased temperatures lead to coral bleaching? What is the mechanism and how can it be controlled?</em>
<em />
Animal Behavior
<em>What is the mechanism that Ophiocordyceps unilateralis (Zombie fungus) uses to manipulate ants for its own disperal?</em>
<em />
Parasitology
<em>Does the parasite Toxoplasma gondii induce erratic behaviors in humans?</em>
