base pairs are broken apart
The enzyme helicase " unzips " the double helix in preparation for replication.
The first thing that happens is a replication structure binds to the DNA molecule. This is usually a signalling molecule or some type of protein. Next, this replication structure attracts DNA helicase enzymes which "unzip" the double stranded helix.
check for stretched or broken auger belt
Helicases must break the hydrogen bonds between paired nucleotide bases (Thymidine-Adenosine or Guanosine-Cytosine) of DNA strands so the two strands can be separated and replicated. The origins of replication, the initial "replication bubbles", tend to be in sequences that are A-T rich because Adenine-Thymidine has only two hydrogen bonds, energetically easier for helicases to start breaking than the three hydrogen bonds between Guanosine-Cytosine. For replication to continue topoisomerases must also cut the phosphate backbones of DNA strands, otherwise the helically wrapped strands would get much too overwound or "supercoiled" for polymerases and related replication machinery to continue to function. Nucleosomes (complexes of histone proteins that DNA wraps around) also have to be rearranged or removed to allow for replication.

hydrogen in bases
It could be either sprained or broken, if in doubt get it checked.
The rugs of DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. When DNA replication occurs and the ladder has to be broken, an enzyme called "helicase" starts at the replication fork and unwinds the DNA ladder. Helicase breaks the rugs of DNA.
The hydrogen bonds are broken in order to unzip the DNA strand. This all occurs during the DNA replication process.
Its left broken.
