Synthesizes a double-stranded DNA molecule using a primer and DNA as a template (See Poly(A) polymerase, Polymerase chain reaction, RNA polymerase, Taq polymerase )
an enzyme that creates genetic material, either RNA or DNA, from building blocks
an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of new DNA and RNA from an existing strand of DNA or RNA
an enzyme which assembles nucleic acid residues into DNA or RNA polymers Polymerases work from the DNA complement of the sequence to be built DNA polymerases copy DNA to DNA to replicate the genome before mitosis, while RNA polymerases copy DNA to RNA as the first step in gene transcription
Any of various enzymes that catalyze the formation of polymers of DNA or RNA using an existing strand of DNA or RNA as a template
Any enzyme that adds subunits to chains of macromolecules Example is DNA polymerase
