The Biochemical Reactions. 1  DNA replication begins with the unzipping of the parent molecule as the hydrogen bonds between the base pairs are broken. 2  Once exposed, the sequence of bases on each of the separated strands serves as a template to guide the insertion of a complementary set of bases on the strand being synthesized.
At the origin, histones are removed to expose the DNA strand, then the enzyme helicase untwists the replicating portion of the molecule and breaks the hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs, causing the formation of a replication fork in the direction of replication.
