Immediately after replication (S phase of a cell), the cell enters G2 phase and then the M phase (division of the cell). During division, specifically anaphase, the 2 pieces of DNA (chromatics) are separated from one another.

∙ 12y agoFirstly the two hydrophobically-linked strands must be separated. This is accomplished by a series of enzymes called Helicases. These are so-called for their ability to un-wind the helix of DNA.
Then, any one of several DNA polymerase (copying) enzymes do their work. Each one of the original strands acts as a Template for the assembly of its own daughter strand.
Two pairs of double helix, each from one of the original and one of the nascent strands, reform into nucleosome bound dsDna quite readily without all that much enzymatic influence, I presume, due to the hydrophobic-attraction that exists between the two strands.

What is it called when DNA separate into two strands?
DNA Replication by enzymes that copy DNA for chromosomes in the new cell after cell division (mitosis)
What is the 2nd step of DNA replication?
1. DNA unzips 2. Nitrogen bonds floating outside of the nucleus attach with the unzipped DNA. 3. Two DNA strands with the exact same bases are formed.
What major event happens just before prophase 1 of meiosis but does not occur before prophase 2?
DNA has already duplicated back in the S phase. centrosome has doubled. in other words DNA replication has occurred!
Is DNA replicated during G1?
Yes. Cell division refers to mitosis or meiosis.DNA replication occurs before every division for mitosis.In meiosis there are 2 separate cell divisions, and the DNA only replicates before the first one.
How many times does DNA replicate in mitosis?
DNA replication occurs once during mitosis. Replication also occurs once during meiosis even though there are 2 divisions that happen.
What happens During replication DNA .?
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.
What is it called when DNA separate into two strands?

After replication 2 identical molecules of?
After replication two identical molecules of DNA are created.
Process by which DNA copies itself?
Replication! 1) DNA splits 2) DNA copies 3) left with 2 copies of DNA! :)
How does DNA semi-conservative replication help prevent mutations in DNA replication?
Semi conservative replication prevents mutations during DNA replication because it produces 2 copies that each contained 1 of the original strands and 1 entirely new strand.
What 2 proteins are used during DNA replication?
The two proteins used during DNA replication are DNA polymerase and DNA helicase. DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand, while DNA helicase unwinds the double helix structure of DNA to expose the template strands for replication.
What is the process of making 2 duplicate strands of DNA called?
Replication
How many replication forks are produced when DNA denatures at an origin?
2
Y shaped regions where the 2 strands of DNA separate?
It is called a replication fork.
How are 2 double stranded DNA molecules created?
Two double stranded DNA molecules are created by the process of DNA replication.
Difference between DNA replication and transcription?
1. Replication is the duplication of two-strands of DNA. Transcription is the formation of single, identical RNA from the two-stranded DNA. 2. There are different proteins involved in replication and transcription. 3. In replication, the end result is two daughter cells, while in transcription, the end result is a protein molecule. 4. In transcription, DNA serves as the template for RNA synthesis.
What is the 2nd step of DNA replication?
1. DNA unzips 2. Nitrogen bonds floating outside of the nucleus attach with the unzipped DNA. 3. Two DNA strands with the exact same bases are formed.
