What Feature of the Telomerase Enzyme Allows It to Synthesize

Multiple Choice

What feature of the telomerase enzyme allows it to synthesize DNA without the use of a DNA or RNA primer?

A) it synthesizes new DNA in a 3' to 5' direction
B) it contains an RNA oligonucleotide complementary to the telomeric sequence
C) since the telomeric sequence is a 15 base repeat, it is synthesized separately from the replication process and merely sealed in place by the ligase action of telomerase
D) telomeric DNA forms a hairpin that is used to create its own complimentary primer
E) none of the above
