Answer:

The correct answer is B. the two strands of DNA must separate.

Explanation:

DNA is a double-stranded structure. The two strands are joined together by the formation of hydrogen bonds between complementary nucleotides. So before the replication takes place these two strands must be separated.

The separation of DNA strand is accomplished by the action of a helicase enzyme which breaks the hydrogen bond between complementary nucleotides and separated the two DNA strands.  

After separation, the DNA polymerase binds to separated DNA and replicating the DNA. So the right answer is B.

Helga [31]

Electron Affinity is not far different from Electronegativity. It’s just that Electronegativity is the impulse of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons (or electron density) towards itself and is  much more often associated with molecules rather than each atom and the values could vary to some degree, although a single value is commonly used for most calculations in inorganic chemistry whilst Electron affinity is a fixed value of an individual atom.
