Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand that DNA replication is a biological process that copies a DNA molecule to produce two identical DNA molecules, essential for cell division.

Step 2: Identify the main stages of DNA replication, which are generally categorized as Initiation, Elongation, and Termination.

Step 3: In the Initiation stage, the replication machinery assembles at the origin of replication, and the DNA strands are separated to form a replication fork.

Step 4: During Elongation, DNA polymerase synthesizes the new DNA strands by adding nucleotides complementary to the template strands.

Step 5: Termination occurs when the replication process is completed, and the replication forks meet or reach the end of the DNA molecule, resulting in two complete DNA molecules.
