What is the difference between helicase and DNA polymerase?

Just as helicase is responsible for unwinding the DNA strand, DNA polymerase is responsible for replicating the strand once it unwinds and separates. DNA is made up of a sugar-phosphate ladder and a nucleotide base.

Explanation:

The Helicase unzips the DNA strands into two parts. The polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes long chains of polymers or nucleic acids. DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase are used to assemble DNA and RNA molecules, respectively, by copying a DNA template strand using base-pairing interactions or RNA by half ladder replication.

Explanation:

So the Polymerase basically brings together/adds new DNA parts to a strand, making the 2 half strands into 2 full strands.
