Front

What is DNA replication?

Back

The process of copying the DNA molecule to produce two identical DNA strands.

Front

What enzyme is responsible for unwinding the DNA double helix during replication?

Back

Helicase.

Front

What is the role of DNA polymerase in DNA replication?

Back

DNA polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides complementary to the template strand.
