DNA strands must unwind and the two strands must separate prior to transcription beginning. Once transcription is complete, the two strands join back together.

No, Eukayotic transcription begins after promoter clearance. Promoter clearance just prepares the transcription initiation complex to begin elongation. Promoter clearance does not produce any functional gene.

What enzyme unzips the DNA molecule?

There are several enzymes that 'unzip' DNA. These enzymes are collectively known as DNA helicases. DNA helicases are helix-destabilizing enzymes that bind to DNA at the origin of replication and break hydrogen bonds, thereby separating the two strands. This allows RNA polymerase to begin transcription (copying) of the DNA sequence.
