Which of the following enzymes is involved in extending the ends of linear chromosomal DNA?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Telomerase is the enzyme that helps to extend the ends of linear chromosomal DNA by adding repeated sequences to the 3' end of the DNA strand. This helps to prevent the loss of genetic information during cell division. Ligase joins the Okazaki fragments during DNA replication, primase helps to initiate DNA synthesis by laying down RNA primers, RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA from DNA templates, and DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to a growing DNA strand during DNA replication. None of these enzymes are specifically involved in extending the ends of linear chromosomal DNA.
