Answer :

Answer:

they might be spliting(reproduction) to make offspring

Explanation:

DNA replication

What does it mean when DNA splits?

Two strands of DNA come together to form a twisted, ladder-like structure. Hydrogen bonds between the bases of each strand create the double-stranded structure. The cell must split the two strands to allow the replication machinery to access each strand and copy it.

What causes the DNA to split apart during replication?

In order to unwind DNA, these interactions between base pairs must be broken. This is performed by an enzyme known as DNA helicase. DNA helicase disrupts the hydrogen bonding between base pairs to separate the strands into a Y shape known as the replication fork.
