Given what we know about the process of DNA replication, we can confirm that the star shown in the diagram represents the replication fork.
During the replication of DNA in the cellular process of multiplication, a structure known as the replication fork is formed. This fork is a structure that forms by helicases, which tear the hydrogen bonds that hold together two DNA strands in the form of a double helix.
The resulting structure contains two prongs, which are branches of the original DNA strand which are no longer doble or in the form of a helix. This area where the strands are separating into prongs is the replication fork which is being marked in the diagram by the star.
