Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which enzyme is responsible for the unwinding of DNA during replication?
  • Step 1: Understand that DNA is structured as a double helix, which means it has two strands twisted around each other.
  • Step 2: During DNA replication, these two strands need to be separated so that each can be copied.
  • Step 3: The enzyme that performs this separation is called helicase.
  • Step 4: Helicase unwinds the DNA double helix, creating two single strands.
  • Step 5: Once the strands are separated, DNA replication can proceed.
