Replication fork

The process by which DNA make copies of itself during cell division is known as DNA replication. During DNA replication, the double helix structure of DNA molecule is unzip by helicase enzyme which break the hydrogen bond holding the complementary DNA base together. However, the separation of the DNA strands will create Y shape called replication fork. Replication fork will acts as template for creating new strands of DNA.
