When a DNA solution is heated enough, the double-stranded DNA unwinds and the hydrogen bonds that hold the two strands together weaken and finally break. The process of breaking double-stranded DNA into single strands is known as DNA denaturation, or DNA denaturing.

hey friend
If we heat up a tube of DNA dissolved in water, the energy of the heat can pull the two strands of DNA apart (there's a critical temperature called the T m at which this happens). This process is called 'denaturation'; when we've 'denatured' the DNA, we have heated it to separate the strands.
hope it's helps u
