Best Answer

At a specific location known as the "replication fork," DNA splits or "unzips" during replication. The split of the double-stranded DNA molecule into two single strands occurs at the replication fork. Due to this division, the replication apparatus may access and duplicate each of the single DNA strands, resulting in the creation of two identical DNA molecules that each include one original and one freshly manufactured strand. DNA replication is necessary for cell division and the genetic information transfer to daughter cells.
