That would be called the Replication Fork
During DNA replication.

the replication fork
Atomic calculous
This is the replication fork.
Helicase.
helicase
RNA polymerase
It would most likely be directly involved in replication.
helicase
Separation of the two DNA strands by the action of the Helicase enzyme.
polymerase
Helicase and RNA polymerase separate DNA strands by breaking the hydrogen bonds between complementary bases.Helicase parts the strands of DNA during DNA replication, and RNA polymerase parts them during transcription.The enzyme that separates DNA in called DNA helicases. There are two of them that work away from the origin of replication, creating in "bubble" in the DNA molecule. For eukaryotes, there would be several origins of replication but in prokaryotes, there is only one origin of replication.
yes
It would most likely be directly involved in replication.
Topoisomerase is the enzyme that unwinds the DNA during replication. It binds to the DNA, and separates the double strands and form a replication fork. After which the primer bind to the start site, and DNA polymerase starts DNA synthesis.
Assuming this is regarding DNA replication or transcription, the enzyme helicase separates the two strands.
DNA Helicase unwinds and unzips the DNA. It separates the two strands of DNA so DNA replication can occur.
During DNA replication, the DNA molecule separates into two strands, then produces two new complementary strands following the rules of base pairing. Each strand of the double helix of DNA serves as a template, or model, for the new strand.
Two - the leading strand and the lagging strand.
During DNA replication the following occurs: 1) An enzyme called helicase separates the DNA strands (the space where they separate is called the replication fork). 2) DNA polymerase adds complementary nucleotides to the separated strand of DNA. 3) The DNA polymerase enzyme finishes adding nucleotides and there are two identical DNA molecules.
helicase
At the beginning of DNA replication there are two strands of DNA nucleotides.
