1. Identify the two "old strands" as the original DNA strands that serve as templates.
2. Recognize the scattered shapes labeled "New Strands" as the newly synthesized DNA fragments.
3. Pair each new strand fragment with its complementary base on one of the old strands, following the rules of base pairing (A-T, G-C).
4. Arrange the new strands along each old strand template to form two complete double helix structures, ensuring each new strand is antiparallel to its template.
5. The result is two identical DNA molecules, each composed of one original (old) strand and one newly synthesized strand, demonstrating semi-conservative replication.
