Under which condition can blunt-end joining be comparatively difficult?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Overhang is absent

The direct answer is option A: blunt-end joining can be comparatively difficult when the overhang is absent. A sticky end has a short single-stranded overhang that can pair with a complementary overhang on another DNA molecule. This temporary base pairing holds the molecules together and helps ligase find the correct position. Blunt ends have no such overhang, so there is no initial complementary pairing; ligase can still join them, but the reaction is usually less efficient and may need suitable conditions. Option A is correct because absence of an overhang describes a blunt end. Option B is wrong because a sticky overhang generally makes joining easier. Option C is wrong because active ligase supports joining rather than causing difficulty. Option D is wrong because a correct buffer also supports the reaction. Memory cue: sticky ends stick first; blunt ends need more help.
