Explain DNA denaturation.

Dear student,
Please find below the answer:

The denaturation of DNA refers to the unwinding or breaking of the two strands of DNA into single strands. It occurs when a DNA solution is heated at an appropriate temperature. As a result of heating, the double-stranded DNA unwinds and the hydrogen bonds that hold the two strands together weaken and finally break. 



Hope this clears your doubt.
Regards.
