Question

  1. label:

original dna dna polymerase ligase leading strand
okazaki fragments lagging strand

  1. what process is shown in the diagram above?

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The diagram shows the process of DNA replication. DNA replication is the process by which a double - stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. Key components in the diagram include the original DNA (the parent strand), DNA polymerase (an enzyme that synthesizes new DNA strands), ligase (an enzyme that joins Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand), the leading strand (synthesized continuously), Okazaki fragments (short segments on the lagging strand), and the lagging strand (synthesized discontinuously).

Answer:

DNA replication
