## Label the Parts of the DNA Replication Fork

### Interactive Diagram Explanation

The diagram presented illustrates the various components involved in the DNA replication fork. To enhance understanding, let's transcribe the labels and describe the functionality of each part:

**Components to be Labeled:**

1. **DNA ligase**
2. **Okazaki fragment**
3. **Open beta clamp**
4. **DNA helicase**
5. **Closed beta clamp**
6. **DNA gyrase**
7. **DNA primase**
8. **Leading strand**
9. **DNA polymerase I**
10. **RNA primer**
11. **DNA polymerase III**
12. **Parent DNA**
13. **Clamp loader**
14. **Single-strand binding proteins**


### Description:

#### 1. DNA Ligase
An enzyme that facilitates the joining of DNA strands together by catalyzing the formation of a phosphodiester bond.

#### 2. Okazaki Fragment
Short sequences of DNA nucleotides which are synthesized discontinuously and later linked together by DNA ligase to create the lagging strand during DNA replication.

#### 3. Open Beta Clamp, 4. Closed Beta Clamp
The clamp is a protein tool that holds the DNA polymerase in place on the DNA strand during replication. It ensures high processivity of DNA polymerase.

#### 4. DNA Helicase
An enzyme that unwinds the DNA helix ahead of the replication fork, allowing the single strands to be copied.

#### 5. DNA Gyrase
Prevents the DNA double helix from getting too tightly wound as the DNA is opened up for replication.

#### 6. DNA Primase
An enzyme involved in the replication of DNA and is a type of RNA polymerase. It synthesizes short RNA sequences called primers which serve as the starting point for DNA synthesis.

#### 7. Leading Strand
The DNA strand that is synthesized continuously during replication.

#### 8. DNA Polymerase I
Enzyme that removes the RNA primer and fills in the gaps with DNA.

#### 9. RNA Primer
A short strand of RNA that serves as a starting point for DNA synthesis.

#### 10. DNA Polymerase III
Enzyme that synthesizes new strands of DNA complementary to the target strand during replication.

#### 11. Parent DNA
The original double-stranded DNA that is unwound and replicated.

#### 12. Clamp Loader
A protein complex that loads the
