Answer:

DNA polymerases

Step-by-step explanation:

The double helix's separate strands serve as templates for the creation of new, complementary strands. DNA polymerases, which require a template and a primer and synthesize DNA in the 5' to 3' position, are the enzymes responsible for creating new DNA.
