The helicase enzymes are used to unzip DNA. There are 31 specific DNA helicases. There are 95 unique helicases in the human genome.

What bonds are broken in order the unzip the DNA strands?

The hydrogen bonds are broken in order to unzip the DNA strand. This all occurs during the DNA replication process.


What occures when 2 strands unzip and the nitrogen bases pair with different nitrogen bases?

This is the process of DNA replication. A DNA strand in the nucleus of a cell, starts off by being "unzipped" by helicase (an enzyme). Then another enzyme, DNA polymerase matches the nitrogen bases (which are freely floating in the nucleus), of each half with their matches, this forms two identical strands, of DNA.

My guess is that you're thinking of DNA polymerase.
