Various DNA polymerases read the DNA template during replication of DNA.
Various RNA polymerases read the DNA template during transcription.
RNA polymerase
they code for an enzyme that synthesizes DNA using an RNA template
Template Sequence
The central enzyme involved is DNA polymerase, which catalyzes the joining of deoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates (dNTPs) to form the growing DNA chain.
The enzyme DNA polymerase synthesises strands in the 5 prime to 3 prime direction, and as DNA is antiparallel the replication of the leading strand occurs from the 3 prime end of the template to the 5 prime end of the template.

The reverse transcriptase enzyme is responsible for synthesis of DNA from an RNA template by the process of reverse transcription.

during cell division /.....IM POSITIVE The person who wrote the above answer is actually very wrong. Though they claim to be "POSITIVE" their self assurance is not worth much when they don't know what they are talking about. DNA Polymerase's role is in DNA replication. DNA Polymerase is an enzyme that essentially "reads" an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand. This process copies a piece of DNA. The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the template's original partner strand. This process occurs mostly in S Phase of the cell cycle. During S Phase DNA and centrosomes are replicated in order to provide the cell with duplicates needed to divide in mitosis. DNA Polymerase is not really used in mitosis, as the previous respondent said, rather it is used during S Phase to copy and duplicate the DNA of a cell.
