Use Figure 16.1 to answer the following questions.

Figure 16.1
-Eukaryotic telomeres replicate differently than the rest of the chromosome. This is a consequence of which of the following?
A)The evolution of telomerase enzyme
B)DNA polymerase that cannot replicate the leading strand template to its 5' end
C)Gaps left at the 5' end of the lagging strand because of the need for a 3' onto which nucleotides can attach
D)Gaps left at the 3' end of the lagging strand because of the need for a primer
E)The "no ends" of a circular chromosome

D)Gaps left at the 3' end of the lagging strand because of the need for a primer 
E)The "no ends" of a circular chromosome

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Telomeres replicate differently because DNA polymerase cannot fill in the gaps left at the 5' end of the lagging strand, as it requires a primer to initiate synthesis.
