What enzyme unravels the DNA helix?
DNA Helicase. - an enzyme, is responsible for unwinding and unzipping the double helix.
What is an example of a biological enzyme?
DNA helicase. This is the enzyme that "unzips" DNA.
What does the helicase enzyme do?
Helicase is an enzyme involved in DNA replication. It unwinds and unzips the parental DNA strand.
During transcription what molecule opens the DNA?
Helicase is what will "unzip" the DNA.
Which enzyme is responsible for unziping the DNA double helix?
DNA helicase
What enzyme unravels the DNA helix?
DNA Helicase. - an enzyme, is responsible for unwinding and unzipping the double helix.

DNA helicase. This is the enzyme that "unzips" DNA.
What does the helicase enzyme do?
Helicase is an enzyme involved in DNA replication. It unwinds and unzips the parental DNA strand.
What enzyme breaks open DNA?
DNA helicase
What molecule unwinds DNA?
A replication bubble.
During transcription what molecule opens the DNA?
Helicase is what will "unzip" the DNA.
What is the enzyme that unwinds DNA prior to replication?
DNA Helicase unwinds the DNA strand in the specific location for it to be transcribed.
What enzyme is involved in DNA replication?
Helicase and DNA polymerase
Which molecule separates the DNA helix?
The enzyme Dna helicase does this.
What enzyme breaks apart the DNA?
Helicase
What is the principle enzyme involved in DNA replication?
Two of the enzymes involved in DNA replication are helicase and DNA polymerase. Helicase unwinds the DNA strand and DNA polymerase makes a copy.
What enzyme unzips DNA and RNA?
the one that breaks it is called Helicase and the one that adds it is called Polymerase.
