Which of the following is part of DNA replication?
A) transcription
B) lagging strand
C) translation
D) amino acids
E) protein synthesis
DNA Replication
The biological process of producing two identical replicas from one original DNA molecule, critical during cell division.
Lagging Strand
The lagging strand is one of the strands of DNA formed during DNA replication, synthesized discontinuously in segments known as Okazaki fragments, opposite the continuous leading strand.
Transcription
The process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA), initiating gene expression.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Lagging strand is involved in DNA replication, as it is the strand that is replicated discontinuously in small fragments called Okazaki fragments. Transcription and translation are involved in protein synthesis, which is not part of DNA replication. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and not directly involved in DNA replication.
