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.

What is the name of the enzyme that match the DNA bases?
DNA polymerase matches the bases on the parent strand.
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
Explain what DNA polymerase is by breaking the word into its parts?
A DNA polymerase are enzymes that function in the replication and repair of DNA by catalyzing the linking of dATP, dCTP, dGTP, and dTTP in a specific order, using single-stranded DNA as a template.
What enzyme elongates DNA?
DNA Polymerase III
Does the enzyme RNA polymerase function in translation?
It catalyzes the bonding of RNA nucleotides.
What function does a DNA polymerase have?
To split DNA strands to create doubles.
What is the primase and its function?
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.
How does DNA polymerase function in DNA replication?
DNA Polymerase III is responsible for adding new nucleotides to the strand being created. DNA Polymerase I replaces the primers with DNA nucleotides. The fragments are then joined together by ligase, and a new strand has been created.
What is main function of 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.
What function does DNA polymerase have to enable it to detect errors and correct them?
proofreading
Principle enzyme involved in DNA replication?
DNA Polymerase.
What chemical is an enzyme that add nucleotides to a new strand of DNA during replication?
DNA Polymerase is the enzyme which adds new nucleotides during replication.
What is the function of a DNA?
There are different types of DNA polymerase depending if it's from a eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell each performing specific tasks. Basically DNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of a polymer, a DNA strand, from many monomers, deoxyribonucleotides.
Is the enzyme that allows replication to occur DNA polymerase or RNA polymerase?
DNA polymerase replicated DNA. RNA polymerase creates mRNA to be used in protein synthesis. RNA polymerase does not replicated DNA.
What is the name of the enzyme that match the DNA bases?
DNA polymerase matches the bases on the parent strand.
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
Explain what DNA polymerase is by breaking the word into its parts?
A DNA polymerase are enzymes that function in the replication and repair of DNA by catalyzing the linking of dATP, dCTP, dGTP, and dTTP in a specific order, using single-stranded DNA as a template.
