Multiple Choice
The ends of eukaryotic chromosomes are replicated by an RNA- protein enzyme called telomerase. This enzyme adds extra nucleotides to the G-rich DNA strand of the telomere.
-What would be the result if an organism's telomerase were mutated and nonfunctional?
A) No DNA replication would take place.
B) The DNA polymerase enzyme would stall at the telomere.
C) Chromosomes would shorten with each new generation.
D) RNA primers could not be removed
