Unzipping DNA

Two new replicated chains

! When you have the four rung DNA and it goes to replicate. An enzyme breaks it down into two chains then free nucleotides come and combine with those chains making two exact replicas of the parent chain. The nucleotides combine thymine goes with adenine and guanine goes with cytosine. So when these combine with each other they make exact replicas of the parent chain.
