DNA Polymerase

I was wondering if someone could help me because i am STUMPED! I have a worksheet that my teacher handed out and the only question i am having a hard time answering is this:

What are 3 things that DNA polymerase cannot do?

the only thing i have come up with is this

DNA polymerase can only extend an existing DNA strand paired with a template strand; it cannot begin the synthesis of a new strand. This means it cannot initiate DNA replication without a primer.

Can anyone help with anything else? Thanks in advance!
