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.
DNA polymerase does not function in the process of transcription. Transcription is the process where RNA is synthesized from a DNA template by RNA polymerase. DNA polymerase, on the other hand, is involved in DNA replication, where it synthesizes a new DNA strand using a DNA template.
DNA polymerase III requires a primer, which is a short piece of RNA or DNA, in order to function correctly.
DNA polymerase has a proofreading function that helps to ensure accuracy during DNA replication by checking for errors and correcting them in real time.
No, RNA polymerase does not require helicase for its function. RNA polymerase is responsible for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template, while helicase is an enzyme that unwinds the DNA double helix during processes like DNA replication and transcription.
DNA polymerase 3 is an enzyme that adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand during replication. It is responsible for synthesizing the majority of the new DNA strand by adding complementary nucleotides to the template strand.

To split DNA strands to create doubles.

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.
No, DNA polymerase does not have the ability to remove DNA adducts. Adducts are chemical modifications that occur on the DNA molecule, and they typically require specialized DNA repair enzymes to be removed. DNA polymerase is primarily responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands during replication and repair processes.
DNA Polymerase is the enzyme which adds new nucleotides during replication.
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.
DNA polymerase replicated DNA. RNA polymerase creates mRNA to be used in protein synthesis. RNA polymerase does not replicated DNA.
DNA polymerase 3 is an enzyme that adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand during replication. It is responsible for synthesizing the majority of the new DNA strand by adding complementary nucleotides to the template strand.
Yes, DNA polymerase is a protein.
