Which protein is responsible for unraveling the DNA double-helix into 2 strands to prepare it for copying?

Biology

The answer is; DNA helicase

They unzip the double helix into single strands during replication. The unzipping occurs at regions called origins where replication is initiated. The protein breaks the hydrogen bonds (using energy from ATP) between the complimentary bases of the strands hence forming a replication fork.

In dna replication, two copies of a dna molecule are produced. in each copy, one strand is new and, the others parental. this pr
pishuonlain [190]
The answer is semiconservative replication. Semiconservative meaning that half of the original molecule (one of the two strands in the double helix) is conserved in the new molecule. Replication is the process by which double stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. It is one of the most basic process that occurs within a cell. Each time a cell divides, the two resulting daughter cells must contain exactly the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell. To accomplish this, each stand of existing DNA acts as a template for replication.

Why would the absence of a particular trait not exclude a species from a particular clade that possesses that trait?
timofeeve [1]
The absence of a particular trait does not exclude a species from a particular clade that possesses that trait because physical attributes of the species is not the basis of the groupings in the clade.

Cladistic groupings uses the evolutionary relationships among the species as its basis in grouping rather than its shared physical traits. These evolutionary relationships are called apomorphies or a set of unique features shared by all organisms in the group but not found in the distant ancestors.
