Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The processivity of E.coli DNA polymerase III holoenzyme accounts for the relatively small number of enzymes needed to replicate the entire chromosome, the rapid rate of polymerization, and the ability of a single holoenzyme to add many nucleotides to a growing DNA chain. However, it does not account for the directionality of polymerization as this is determined by the 5' to 3' orientation of the template strand and the incoming nucleotides being added in the 5' to 3' direction.
