A schematic in molecular biology shows a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) double helix opening into a replication fork, with complementary base pairs exposed and free nucleotides being incorporated. Two enzyme complexes, consistent with DNA polymerase (DNA pol), operate on the leading and lagging strands, generating continuous and discontinuous synthesis, respectively. The macromolecule is part of a chromosome within a cell, enabling genome duplication before cell division in genetics and biochemistry. The illustration highlights nucleotides, sugar‑phosphate backbones, and nascent daughter strands.
