There are two different types of nucleic acid polymerases

$DNA-$ dependent $DNA$ polymerases

$DNA-$ dependent $RNA$ polymerases 

The $DNA-$ dependent $DNA$ polymerases use a  $DNA$ template for synthesizing a new strand of $DNA$, whereas $DNA-$ dependent $RNA $ polymerases use a $DNA$ template strand for synthesizing $RNA$.
