What enzyme breaks hydrogen bonds between nitrogen bases?
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.
What does helicase do in replication?
(Apex) It breaks apart the bases.
What enzyme is necessary for transcription?
The enzyme RNA polymerase transcribes DNA. This enzyme initiates transcription, joins the RNA nucleotides together, and terminates.
The enzyme that adds and links complementary RNA nucleotides during transcription is called?
RNA polymerase is the enzyme that adds and links complementary RNA nucleotides during transcription
What enzyme is required to synthesize mRNA?
Helicase. It 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’. The two separated strands will act as templates for making the new strands of DNA. One oriented in the 3’ to 5’ direction, is the leading strand. The other oriented in the 5’ to 3’ direction is the lagging strand.
How dimerization takes place?
when the two strands or adopters are cutted with same restriction enzyme and they are complementary to each other, they attached and recircularized.
What is necessary for transcription?
DNA polymerase is the enzyme that "unzips" the complementary DNA strands allowing mRNA to transcribe, or copy, a section of DNA.

WHAT Breaks the hydrogen bonds in DNA?
i dont know but there is a website its wikipiedia
Why is hair not an enzyme?
Hair like enzymes are made of protein. However for a protein to be an enzyme it must have a very specific tertiary structure (shape) and have an active site that has a complementary shape to part of its substrate molecule. ie the enzyme must fit with the thing that it breaks down The tertiary sructure of hair is not highly folded and does not have a complementary shape to a substrate molecule therefore it is not an enzyme

What enzyme in saliva breaks the chemical bonds starches?
The enzyme found in saliva that breaks chemical bonds between starches and releases sugars is called Salivary amylase.
Which enzyme copies DNA strands?
ligase
What enzyme breaks down rice?
An amylase is an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar.
