Helicase is the name of the specialized enzyme that unzips the bonds between bases.

By severing the hydrogen bonds between base pairs and unwinding the DNA molecule's two strands, an enzyme known as Helicase aids in unzipping the molecule. It binds to and dissolves the hydrogen bonds connecting the bases on the DNA strands. These hydrogen bonds continue to be broken as the helicase travels along the DNA molecule, separating the two polynucleotide chains.

Primase, a different enzyme, momentarily binds to each strand when the helicase separates them in order to build a foundation upon which replication can start.

Compartments A and B are separated by a membrane that is permeable to K+ but not to Na+ or Cl-. At time zero, a solution of KCl
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The electrical and diffusion potentials for K+ will be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Explanation:

The cell potential may be defined as the potential difference between the inside of the cell and outside the cell. This difference is important for the transmission of nerve impulse.

The equilibrium condition may be defined as the condition at which  the exit and the entrance of the ions will be equal. As the information in the question, Only potassium ions will move inward and outward of the cell. The potassium ions will move in opposite direction since the equilibrium has been reached.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
