The polymerase itself does not separate the DNA strands. Helicase (another enzyme, sometimes found in complex with a polymerase holoenzyme) does the separating for it, ahead of the replication fork.

When helicase “unzips” the DNA strand, it creates a replication fork. Inside this fork, new DNA is being built by the enzyme DNA polymerase. Eventually, the entire strand is replicated. Using the base-pairing
