This diagram shows the functions of different enzymes during DNA replication. Which label would change if this process took place in a prokaryotic cell?

![DNA Replication Diagram](image-link-would-be-here-if-it-was-on-website)

In this educational diagram, the various enzymes involved in DNA replication are illustrated and labeled. Here is a detailed description of the diagram to aid in your understanding:

1. **DNA Polymerase**: Enzymes responsible for forming new copies of DNA, by pairing nucleotides to the template strand.
2. **DNA Ligase**: An enzyme that joins DNA fragments together by forming a bond between the 3'-hydroxyl group of one nucleotide and the 5'-phosphate group of another.
3. **Lagging Strand**: One of the two strands of DNA found at the replication fork, which is synthesized discontinuously in short sections called Okazaki fragments.
4. **Leading Strand**: The strand of DNA which is synthesized continuously during DNA replication. It is oriented 3' to 5' to allow continuous replication by DNA polymerase.
5. **Okazaki Fragment**: Short, newly synthesized DNA fragments that are formed on the lagging template strand during DNA replication.
6. **Helicase**: Enzymes that bind and may even remodel nucleic acid or nucleic acid protein complexes. In DNA replication, they are vital in unwinding the DNA double helix.
7. **Single-Strand Binding Proteins**: Proteins that bind to the single-stranded DNA exposed by helicase. Their role is to prevent the single strands of DNA from forming secondary structures.
8. **Nucleus**: The organelle in eukaryotic cells that contains the genetic material.

### Important Note:

In the context of this diagram, the label that would change if this process took place in a prokaryotic cell is the "nucleus." Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus; instead, their DNA replication occurs in the cytoplasm.
