['The image illustrates the process of DNA replication, where the two original strands (old strands) serve as templates for the synthesis of new complementary strands. The new strands are formed by adding nucleotides that pair with the bases on the old strands according to the base pairing rules (A with T, and G with C). The new strands are shown as being synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction, with the leading strand being synthesized continuously and the lagging strand being synthesized in short fragments called Okazaki fragments. The fragments are later joined by DNA ligase to form a continuous strand. The overall process results in two identical DNA molecules, each consisting of one old strand and one new strand, demonstrating the semi-conservative nature of DNA replication.']
