Q

Double helix unwinds, helicase unzips dna by breaking hydrogen bonds, polymerase pairs each of two strands with the correct nitrogen base, lipase glues together different fragments of lagging strands. What’s this process?

Q

What’s the difference between cell division in plants and animals?

A

During Mitosis in animals, we find a specific structure called a centrosome that becomes the center of spindle thread.
