Answer:

Helicase

Explanation:

The DNA double helix is unzipped by the enzyme *HELICASE*. The enzyme breaks the hydrogen bond between the bases thereby causing the strands of the double helicase to unzip. The action of the helicase enzyme uses energy from ATP. The unzipping of the double helix does not occur in a swift move. One end of the DNA molecule with 5'-3' is opened up showing the antiparallel single strands. The end that is opened is termed INITIATION SITE of replication. The opening look like someone standing with legs wide open. The wide opening is called REPLICATION FORK. The single strands of the fork are usually unstable but their stability is maintained by the DNA-binding-proteins. Having opened the double helix, the replication would then continue in the 5'-3' direction of one of the two antiparallel single strands.

pychu [463]

To test for the keystone species hypothesis, the wolves in another region can be removed or trees can be reintroduced to see the effect on the ecosystem.

<h3>What is a keystone species?</h3>

A keystone species is an organism whose existence defines an entire ecosystem such that them, the ecosystem would be severely affected or may not exist.

Trophic cascades are events which result in serious distortions in an ecosystem as a result of the removal or addition of a top predator.

To test for the hypothesis of keystone species and trophic cascades, the wolves in another region can be removed or trees can be reintroduced to see the effect on the ecosystem.
