### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Introduction to DNA Polymerase**: - DNA polymerase is primarily known for its role in synthesizing new DNA strands by polymerizing deoxyribonucleotides during DNA replication. However, it has additional important functions beyond this primary role. 2. **Role in DNA Repair**: - One of the significant roles of DNA polymerase is in the repair of DNA. DNA can be damaged due to various factors such as UV radiation, chemical exposure, or errors during replication. DNA polymerase helps in repairing these damaged sections by synthesizing new DNA to replace the damaged nucleotides. ...
