<span>A single stranded nucleic acid that plays a role in protein synthesis is known as the messenger RNA or mRNA (messenger Ribonucleic Acid). The other two types of nuclei acids are transfer RNA or tRNA and ribosomal rNA or rRNA. These nucleic acids are involved in cellular division in cells, during which transcription and translation occurs.</span>
Answer: Missense mutation
Explanation:
Missense mutation is a type of point mutation where a single nucleotide is changed to cause substitution of a different amino acid. This in turns render the resulting protein non-functional.
In the case of sickle-cell disease, the sixth amino acid in the gene sequence, glutamate (GAG) is substituted with valine (GUA), due to Adenine nucleotide changed to Uracil nucleotide. Thus, missense mutation has occurred
The answer is Topoisomerase.
<span>Topoisomerase is an enzyme with the role to regulate the overtwisting or </span>undertwisting<span> of DNA helix. If DNA helix is untwisted, topoisomerases will regulate this situation and will twist DNA helix.</span>
Nuclease<span> is an enzyme that cleaves the sequences of nucleic acids into smaller units.</span>
<span>Telomerase is an enzyme that adds specific sequence to the telomere ends.</span>
