- Top left box (pointing to the unwound DNA): helicase
- Box below helicase (pointing to the single-stranded DNA): Single Strand Binding Protein
- Box below that (pointing to the 5' end of the template strand): 5'
- Box at the bottom left (pointing to the newly synthesized continuous strand): Leading Strand
- Box at the bottom center (pointing to the newly synthesized discontinuous strand): Lagging Strand
- Box in the middle right (pointing to the enzyme synthesizing the new strand): DNA polymerase
- Box above DNA polymerase (pointing to the RNA primer): DNA primase
- Box at the top right (pointing to the enzyme joining fragments): DNA ligase
- Box below DNA ligase (pointing to the short, newly synthesized fragment on the lagging strand): Okazaki Fragment
- Box at the far right (pointing to the 3' end of the template strand): 3'
