Single-strand
binding proteins
Topoisomerase
Ligase

Verified Answer :

Final answer:

Helicase unwinds DNA strands before replication occurs with the help of single-strand binding proteins and topoisomerase.


Explanation:

Helicase is the protein responsible for unwinding DNA strands before replication. It functions at the origin of the replication fork by using ATP for energy. Single-strand binding proteins then bind to the separated strands, preventing them from rejoining, while topoisomerase helps relieve tension in the DNA during replication.
