    National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has developed a series of interactive maps and graphs to describe the global climate and how it has changed over time. They focus on 5 key climate indicators:
    carbon dioxide concentration
    global surface temperature
    Arctic sea ice
    land ice
    sea level

    Hermaphroditism is a form of sexual reproduction. Hermaphrodite is an organism that has reproductive organs normally associated with both male and female sexes. Hermaphroditic plants—most flowering plants, or angiosperms—are bisexual. Hermaphroditic animals—mostly invertebrates such as worms, moss animals, trematodes, snails, slugs, etc—are usually parasitic, permanently attached to another animal or plant.

    A type of helicase enzyme called DNA helicase catalyzes the unwinding of the DNA helix at the time of replication. It uses the energy released through hydrolysis of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) to break the hydrogen bonds between the two strands. The enzyme is needed to separate the two strands of DNA also during transcription and DNA repair.
