Determine if the following statement about the function of the enzyme helicase in DNA replication is true or false. If false, correct the statement:
During DNA replication, the helicase is responsible for forming the hydrogen bonds between the nucleotide bases, fusing the two strands of the DNA double helix.

• A. True. During DNA replication, helicase is responsible for forming the hydrogen bonds between the nucleotide bases, fusing the two strands of the DNA double helix.
• B. False. During DNA replication, helicase is responsible for forming the hydrogen bonds between the nucleotide bases, fusing the two strands of the RNA single strand.
• C. False. During DNA replication, helicase is responsible for breaking the hydrogen bonds between the nucleotide bases, separating the two strands of the DNA double helix.
• D. False. During DNA replication, helicase is responsible for breaking the dipole-dipole bonds between the nucleotide acids, separating the two strands of the DNA double helix.

Answer: (C)
