The two strands of a DNA double helix are separated by an enzyme called helicase at several origins of replication along the length of each chromosome. To keep the strands apart, single-stranded binding proteins bind and hold them away from each other, creating two replication -------------one at each end of a replication bubble. feel out the missing blank

During DNA replication, the function of DNA polymerase is to serve as starting points for DNA strand elongation in the 5' direction. It also serves as a binding site for DNA ligase. DNA polymerase synthesizes both the leading and the lagging strands in the 5' to 3' direction. It prevents newly separated strands of DNA from rejoining and separates the two strands of the double helix to open replication "bubbles".
