The specific catalytic activity of the telomerase enzymes is best described as:

a. Adding extra nucleotides to the 3' DNA overhang at the ends of each chromosome

b. Adding extra nucleotides to both strands of DNA at the ends of chromosomes

c. Removing 'junk' DNA from the ends of chromosomes

d. Generating a new primer sequence on the very tip of the lagging strand after DNA replication

e. Coordinating the binding of special telomere cap proteins that protect the ends of chromosomes

Answer #1

Telomerase is an enzyme which extends the chromosome by adding extra nucleotides to the primer. This enzyme gets attached to the ends of the chromosome and adds complementary bases to RNA strand to the 3' end of the DNA. So, option A is the correct asnwer.
