An organism is found in which the template RNA sequence in the telomerase is 5'-CCAUAA-3'.
What is the DNA sequence of the organism's telomeres?
A) $\begin{array}{l}
3 \text { ' }-\ldots \text { CCAUAACCAUAA } \ldots-5 \text { ' } \
5^{\prime}-\ldots \text { GGUAUUGGUAUU } \ldots-3 \text { ' }
\end{array}$
B) $\begin{array}{l}
3 ^{\prime}-\ldots \text { GGUAUUGGUAUU } \ldots-5 \text { ' } \
5^{\prime}-\ldots \text { CCAUAACCAUAA } . . .-3 \text { ' }
\end{array}$
C) $\begin{array}{l}
3 \text { '-... CCAUAACCATAA...-5' } \
5^{\prime}-\ldots \text { GGTATTGGTATT ...-3' }
\end{array}$
D) $\text { 3'-...GGTATTGGTATT...-5' }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The telomerase RNA template 5'-CCAUAA-3' is used to synthesize the complementary DNA sequence 5'-TTATGG-3' on the telomere, resulting in the DNA sequence 3'-GGTATT-5'.
