Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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). The separation of the two single strands of DNA creates a ‘Y’ shape called a replication ‘fork’.
Detailed explanation-2: -Helicase separates the two strands of DNA at the Replication Fork behind the topoisomerase. The enzyme responsible for catalyzing the addition of nucleotide substrates to DNA in the 5′ to 3′ direction during DNA replication.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA Helicase and Its Function in Replication DNA helicase is an enzyme that unwinds the DNA double helix by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases.
