a double helix
Your entire genome is coiled into a double helixes and these are intern coiled up further.
To make sure the double-strand DNA template is separated into single strands.
Replication forks hold the two separated strands of DNA apart preventing them from assuming their double helic shape.
DNA consists of two strands of nucleotides twisted into a double helix.

The two strands can not be separated mechanically.

The DNA double helix unwinds, & the two separated strands each serve as a template for a complementary strand to be synthesised
A DNA molecule has the shape of a double-stranded helix.
Its structure is two spirals interlaced; double meaning two, helix being the technical word for such a shape. DNA is known as the double helix because it coils up into chromosomes and looks like a winding staircase.
three different roles in DNA polymerase are 1. binding of enzymes to existing DNA 2. Unwinding of the double helix 3. Synthesis of a new matching strand for each existing strand
DNA molecule is normally double stranded
DNA is composed of two strands of DNA nucleotides.
Because they both discovered the double helixes and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
