replication fork :)
DNA is, as you say, "unzipped" is a complex process. DNA usually unwinds either to replicate DNA or synthesize mRNA to make proteins. I'll use DNA replication as the example. when the process starts, it will start at hundreds of sites along the length of the DNA molecule. once started the replication will proceed in both directions. DNA helicase is the enzyme that opens the two strands, and the enzyme topoisomerase is before helicase to make sure no tension builds up as the strands unwind. after topoisomerase runs down the length, closely followed by helicase, binding proteins stick to the newly opened nucleotides to prevent the strands from sticking together. that's the first basic step of DNA replication and basically answers your question. Helicase opens it, but remember it must be triggered by a enzyme of protein in order for it to start, and then continues until the molecule is finished.
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
If an epidemic becomes widespread, it becomes a pandemic.
The spiral shape of the DNA molecule is called a double helix.
The process of removing a phosphate group from a molecule is called dephosphorylation.
This process is called phosphorylation.
phosphorilation
The double helix structure of DNA is unzipped in the middle, creating two separate strands. This process is called DNA replication, and it allows each strand to serve as a template for the creation of a new complementary strand.
Ionization, it becomes a cation
When one strand of the DNA molecule is unzipped, the exposed bases become available for complementary base pairing. This process allows an enzyme called DNA polymerase to build a new complementary strand by adding nucleotides according to the base pairing rules (A with T and C with G).
Templates.
The process is called phosphorylation. Specifically, when an ADP molecule gains a phosphate group to become ATP through the addition of a phosphate group, it is known as oxidative phosphorylation in cellular respiration.

Yes. When complete, the destination location becomes an exact copy of the source location.
Transcription begins at a specific DNA sequence called the promoter region, which signals the RNA polymerase enzyme where to start transcribing. Transcription ends at a specific DNA sequence called the terminator region, which signals the RNA polymerase to stop transcribing. These regions, along with other regulatory elements, help determine the initiation and termination points of transcription.
An oxygen atom gains 2 electrons when it becomes an ion because it wants a full valence shell (as in, its outer energy level is trying to reach 8 electrons).
when a neutral atom (same number of electrons and protons) loses an electron, it is charged positively. when a neutral atom gains an electron, it is charged negatively. In this state, it is known as an ion.
