no uracil is used instead of thymine
DNA Polymerase is the enzyme which adds new nucleotides during replication.
DNA Polymerase III adds nucleotides during DNA replication. DNA Polymerase I also adds nucleotides (to a lesser extent). DNA Pol I is responsible for replacing the primers with dNTPs, these sections are then joined to the rest by DNA Ligase.
DNA is copied in a process called DNA replication. During DNA replication, the two strands of the DNA molecule separate. Then free DNA nucleotides pair with their complimentary nucleotides according to the base-pairing rule on each of the old strands of DNA. Once the process is complete, the result is two identical DNA molecules, each with one old strand of DNA and one new strand of DNA. Refer to the related link for an illustration.

Lagging strand
The Ligase connects nucleotides together during DNA replication.
At the beginning of DNA replication there are two strands of DNA nucleotides.
You have one too many bases.
DNA Polymerase is the enzyme which adds new nucleotides during replication.
adenine bonds with thymine The bases on these nucleotides are very particular about what they connect to. Cytosine (C) will "pair" to guanine (G), and adenine (A) will "pair" to thymine (T). How the bases are arranged in the DNA is what determines the genetic code.
During DNA replication, special enzymes move up along the DNA ladder, unzipping the molecule as it moves along. New nucleotides move in to each side of the unzipped ladder. The bases on these nucleotides are very particular about what they connect to. Cytosine (C) will "pair" to guanine (G), and adenine (A) will "pair" to thymine (T). How the bases are arranged in the DNA is what determines the genetic code.
DNA polymerase
DNA itself is made up of nucleotides. Nucleotides links with each other to form a DNA chain. In the process of DNA replication, parent DNA strand needs to be duplicated. Hence, to make a new strand of DNA it requires nucleotides.
DNA Polymerase III adds nucleotides during DNA replication. DNA Polymerase I also adds nucleotides (to a lesser extent). DNA Pol I is responsible for replacing the primers with dNTPs, these sections are then joined to the rest by DNA Ligase.
DNA polymerases are the enzymes responsible for joining DNA nucleotides together. In Prokaryotes - DNA Pol III is the enzyme which adds nucleotides to the new strand during DNA replication. DNA Pol I is responsible for replacing the primers with DNA nucleotides.
During DNA replication the following occurs: 1) An enzyme called helicase separates the DNA strands (the space where they separate is called the replication fork). 2) DNA polymerase adds complementary nucleotides to the separated strand of DNA. 3) The DNA polymerase enzyme finishes adding nucleotides and there are two identical DNA molecules.
