question 50

Multiple Choice

The processivity of a polymerase is a measure of how fast it can copy a DNA template.A polymerase with a high processivity has a high speed,while a polymerase with a low processivity has a slow speed.Given this information,how does processivity relate to the sensitivity and error rate of a polymerase?

• A)high processivity = high sensitivity and high error rate
• B)high processivity = high sensitivity and low error rate
• C)high processivity = low sensitivity and high error rate
• D)high processivity = low sensitivity and low error rate
