∙ 9y agoDNA helicase "unzip," or separate, a strand of DNA at positions called origins. This means that the hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs are removed (DNA is double stranded!). When they separate double-stranded DNA into single strands, it allows each strand to be copied (replication).
DNA helicases use the energy stored in a molecule called ATP to break the bonds, which serves as the energy currency of cells.

∙ 12y agoDNA Helicase attaches to the DNA molecule and travels along it to cut the hydrogen bonds between the base pairs (Adenine is always paired with Thymine and Cytosine is always paired with Guanine). It has to be cut down the middle to form two strands of DNA which can then replicate into 2 new DNA molecules.

What is the role in helicase enzyme in dnA replication?
(Apex) It breaks apart the bases.
DNA replication that unzip the DNA strand is?
What unzips DNA strand is a particular protein called Helicase. Helicase unwinds DNA's double helix at the replication fork.
What does the helicase enzyme do?
Helicase is an enzyme involved in DNA replication. It unwinds and unzips the parental DNA strand.
Is DNA helicase an enzyme?
Yes, it unwinds the DNA double helix prior to transcription/protein synthesis and DNA replication.
In order to replicate where do DNA molecules separate?
At the hydrogen bonds between bases with the help of the enzyme helicase.
What is the role in helicase enzyme in dnA replication?
(Apex) It breaks apart the bases.
What enzyme is responsible for unwinding the DNA molecule for replication?
DNA Helicase is the enzyme responsible for unzipping DNA before replication occurs.
DNA replication that unzip the DNA strand is?
What unzips DNA strand is a particular protein called Helicase. Helicase unwinds DNA's double helix at the replication fork.
What molecule unwinds DNA?
A replication bubble.
What separates the DNA strands during replication?
That would be called the Replication Fork
What does the helicase enzyme do?
Helicase is an enzyme involved in DNA replication. It unwinds and unzips the parental DNA strand.
What enzyme is involved in DNA replication?
Helicase and DNA polymerase
What job do the enzymes helicase play?
Helicase unwinds the DNA during replication.
Which enzyme unwinds DNA to initiate replication?
Helicase
Is DNA helicase an enzyme?
Yes, it unwinds the DNA double helix prior to transcription/protein synthesis and DNA replication.
Y shaped regions where the 2 strands of DNA separate?
It is called a replication fork.
In order to replicate where do DNA molecules separate?
At the hydrogen bonds between bases with the help of the enzyme helicase.
