DNA polymerases are a family of enzymes that carry out all forms of DNA replication. DNA polymerases in general cannot initiate synthesis of new strands, but can only extend an existing DNA or RNA strand paired with a template strand.NA polymerase III (in prokaryotes) or Pol Î´ (in eukaryotes) is responsible for extension of the primers added during replication of the lagging strand. Primer removal is performed by DNA polymerase I (in prokaryotes) and Pol Î´ (in eukaryotes).
Lesson Summary. In summary, we have covered what DNA polymerase is and what it does. DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes new copies of DNA. It carries out this function after DNA helicase has unzipped the DNA thereby creating two single strands of DNA that can be used as templates.he result of DNA polymerase function is two copies of DNA that contain one original and one newly synthesized strand of DNA.
