Choose the correct statement.

 

A. Taq polymerase is having high processivity

B. Processivity is defined in this case as a synthesis of DNA by polymerase

C. It requires a 5’ end for the elongation to take place

D. The maximum size of the molecules which can be synthesized is 10kbp

Explanation: Taq polymerase is having low processivity. It means that it falls off from the template before it has synthesized a large piece of DNA. It requires a 3’ OH for carrying out the elongation. The maximum size of the molecules which can be synthesized is 2-4 kbp.
