Answer:

Complementary pairing held by hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

A DNA molecule is polynucleotide made up of nucleotide subunits (four). The nucleotides are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. These nucleotides are arranged on the DNA in two long chains. Each of these chains is called the DNA strand. The base portions of the nucleotides are held together by hydrogen bonds. This pairing of nucleotides is responsible for the double-helical structure of DNA.

Hydrogen bonds hold together complementary base pairs i.e. each base held together is complementary to one another. Complementary base pairing is a phenomenon whereby in DNA, Adenine (A) always binds to Thymine (T), while Guanine (G) always binds to Cytosine (C).

Note that, Adenine and Guanine are purine bases while Cytosine and Thymine are pyrimidine bases. In the nucleotide base pairing in DNA, purines binds to pyrimidines and vice versa

The enzyme in charge of unzipping the Dna molecule during replication is called
Afina-wow [57]

Answer: Helicase

Explanation: Replication is a process of making two identical copies of DNA from a double-stranded DNA. This process is catalyzed by an enzyme called DNA polymerase. Before DNA polymerase begins the synthesis of the new strands, helicase will unwind or unzip the double-stranded DNA. Helicase is the enzyme that unzips or unwinds the double-stranded DNA helix during replication. Helicase separates the two strands by moving along the DNA using chemical energy from ATP. The separated strands serve as templates for the synthesis of new DNA strand.
