Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The DNA polymerase used is from Thermus aquaticus, but the template for synthesis is from a human cell. As DNA polymerase only adds nucleotides complementary to the template strand, the synthesized DNA would be complementary to the original human DNA template. Therefore, the synthesized DNA would be most similar to human DNA.
