Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Key enzyme involved in DNA replication, it is responsible for ‘unzipping’ the double helix structure by breaking the hydrogen bonds between bases on opposite strands of the DNA molecule.
Detailed explanation-2: -During DNA replication, an enzyme called DNA helicase “unzips” the molecule of double-stranded DNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first step in DNA replication is to ‘unzip’ the double helix structure of the DNA? molecule. This is carried out by an enzyme? called helicase which breaks the hydrogen bonds? holding the complementary? bases? of DNA together (A with T, C with G).
