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 standard base-pairing rules (A with T, G with C).
4. Arrange the new strands along each old strand so they form a continuous complementary sequence, creating two new double-stranded DNA molecules.
5. Ensure each resulting molecule consists of one original (old) strand and one newly synthesized strand, illustrating semi-conservative replication.
