Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The DNA synthesized would be most similar to human DNA because the template for the synthesis comes from a human cell. DNA polymerase from Thermus aquaticus (Taq polymerase) is simply the enzyme used to catalyze the reaction, but it does not influence the sequence of the synthesized DNA. The sequence is determined by the template, which in this case is human.
