When Dna Replicates
a: Double helix ~
b: a zipper that unzips
What: "The sugar-phosphate backbones are represented by lines, and the sequence of base pairs is random. Let's imagine that the double helix is like a zipper that unzips, starting at one end (at the bottom in Figure 8-10). We can see that, if this zipper analogy is valid, the unwinding of the two strands will expose single bases on each strand."
