Solution
DNA Polymerase III is responsible for proofreading new DNA. It is an enzyme that synthesizes new DNA molecules by copying a DNA template strand. However, it does not synthesize or remove primers, join Okazaki fragments, or unzip the DNA helix. These tasks are performed by other enzymes during DNA replication.
