Question : What is replication fork?

Answer»

Solution :(i) During DNA replication, replication fork is the site (POINT of unwinding) of separation of parental DNA strands where new daughter strands are formed. Multiple replication forks are found in eukaryotes.
(ii) The ENZYME helicases are involved in unwinding of DNA by breaking hydrogen bonds holding the two strands of DNA and replication protein A (RPA) PREVENTS the SEPARATED polynucleotide strand from getting reattached.
