What prevents the unwound DNA from twisting back?
helicase
Are chromosome more condense than chromatin?
Yes, you can think of chromosomes tightly wound up DNA and chromatin as unwound DNA.
How does DNA replicate itself when cells divide?
The DNA double helix is unwound and each strand acts as a template for a new double helix.
Would most likely happen if DNA polymerize were not functioning properly during DNA replication?
as helicase unwinds the double stranded DNA DNA polymerase is responsible for inserting the new coresponding nucleotides during replication and wihtout it the unwound DNA would remain single stranded.
What is symbol of DNA?
DNA is not an element. DNA is the brain of the cell, and carries our genetics, traits, and characteristics of ourselves. It is not an element, but a microscopic, double-helix twisted strand that is miles and miles and miles long if it is unwound to its full length. It is not, however, an element.
What is unwound DNA called?
Chromatin

When RNA polymerase binds to DNA what happens to the double helix?
it breaks down "muses"............yes that's the correct term
Is topoisomerases belong to restriction enzymes?
Topoisomerase is not a restriction enzyme but an enzyme that keeps unwound DNA from tangling while it is being replicated.

When was Unwound created?
Unwound was created in 1991.
When did Unwound end?
Unwound ended in 2002.

What is the first event to occur during DNA replication?
DNA replication occurs during mitosis and meiosis. During this process, the DNA is lined up before being duplicated so that each cell that's created from the process has the DNA needed.
Explain the replication of DNA Include the role of helicase?
1. Helicases unwind the double helix at the replication fork and single strand binding proteins (SSBs) stablilize unwound DNA ahead of the fork.
