Question

1. When DNA replicates, how is it able to “unwind” its double helix?

Definition Definition Mechanism by which deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is capable of producing an exact copy of itself. DNA molecules utilize a semiconservative method for replication. DNA replication is the most essential part of biological inheritance and is crucial for cell division during growth and repair of damaged tissues.
