Q. During DNA replication, the strands separate by

AIPMTAIPMT 1993Molecular Basis of Inheritance

Solution:

During DNA replication, the strands separate by unwindase/helicase. The molecule is unwound by DNA unwinding proteins called helicases. The helicases II and III get attached to logging strand and protein to the leading strand. The formation of bands is avoided by single stranded DNA binding proteins (SSB).
