Short Answer: There are almost a dozen different types of DNA polymerase: some may have a subunit that performs the unwinding functions.
DNA Polymerase.
The DNA polymerase enzyme synthesises the complementary DNA strand to a single stranded DNA strand (in vivo and in vitro). This often requires the presence of a 3' end for the polymerase enzyme to bind to before synthesis can begin. Taq polymerase (A DNA polymerase) is often used in PCR reactions to synthesise DNA in vitro using primers to provide a 3' end to bind to.
DNA Polymerase is the enzyme which adds new nucleotides during replication.
DNA polymerase is a catalyst, by catalyzing the synthesis of new DNA by adding nucleotides to a preexisting chain. There are several different DNA polymerases, but DNA polymerase I and DNA polymerase II play the major roles in DNA replication.
Primase in the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase enzyme that functions in DNA replication by synthesizing the RNA primers which are then extended by DNA polymerase to yield newly synthesized DNA fragments. While being an RNA polymerase, primase is different from the RNA polymerase that functions in the transcription of DNA.

More than two enzymes are involved. However, the main ones are DNA Polymerase I and DNA Polymerase III. DNA Polymerase III adds new nucleotides and DNA Polymerase I removes primers.
DNA polymerase
RNA polymerase produce mRNA from DNA
The two main ones are DNA-polymerase and helicase
In humans, many enzymes are involved in DNA replication. Among them are: DNA polymerase I DNA polymerase III Ligase Primase Helicase DNA polymerase I and III perform the bulk of the actual reproduction--their job is to add nucleotides to the growing strands. The others perform specialized functions and are essential to the process.

In DNA replication, DNA polymerase III is the enzyme which joins the DNA nucleotides together via phospodiester bonds.DNA Ligase is the enzyme that seals gaps in DNA during DNA Replication.DNA Ligase is the enzyme that seals gaps in DNA during DNA Replication.

DNA polymerase replicated DNA. RNA polymerase creates mRNA to be used in protein synthesis. RNA polymerase does not replicated DNA.
