DNA Polymerase is the enzyme in cells responsible for creating a new DNA strand using an existing DNA strand as a template. In order for DNA to be used as a template it must first be seperated from its complimentary strand by another enzyme called DNA helicase. The polymerase binds to the template DNA strand and attaches nucleotides together according to the nucleotide sequence of the DNA.
