Answer #1

DNA Polymerase synthesizes a DNA strand and used in DNA replication while RNA Polymerase is used during transcription to synthesize the mRNA strand. In contrast with the DNA polymerase, RNA polymerases donot necessarily require the so called primer to start the process and they actually have no proofreading systems.
