The enzyme that replaces RNA primers with DNA during DNA replication is called DNA polymerase I in prokaryotes. In eukaryotes, this role is primarily carried out by DNA polymerase δ and DNA polymerase ε. These enzymes have exonuclease activity that allows them to remove the RNA primers and fill in the gaps with DNA nucleotides.
