what r the functions of eukaryotic DNA pol alpha, delta, gamma, etc compared to prokaryotic I and III? i got contradictory descriptions from Lippincott's and Kaplan. thanks for helping out here!

  #2

Eukaryotic = Alpha replicates lagging strant
Delta = leading strand
Beta and epsilon are for repair
Gamma = replicates mitochondrial DNA

Prokaryotic = Dna pol I gets rid of the primer, as it has 5 to 3 prime repair activity and Dna pol III actually is involved in the replication process and it has 3 to 5 prime exonuclease activity.

If i messed up on something guys, please correct me?
