what is the function of DNA polymerase...please tell me what is it

The functions of DNA Polymerase :-

1] It adds nucleotides to the DNA and "proofreads" the created portion of DNA. Additionally, it removes the RNA primer from the DNA.

2] DNA polymerases catalyze the polymerization of deoxynucleotides into DNA.

3] They invariably work in a 5'3' direction adding deoxynucleotides onto the 3'-OH group.

4] DNA polymerase can add free nucleotides to only the 3’ end of the newly-forming strand.

I hope this information will help you a lot.

All the best................
