Schematic representation of template-directed polymerization of a DNA chain using another DNA strand as the template (i.e., DNA replication). Only a short stretch of the partially replicated template, excluding the site of initiation and termination of replication, is shown. Moreover, the strands are depicted as straight tapes, ignoring their actual conformations.
