Chapter 11.4, Problem 4CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The requirement that telomerase uses as a template to make the DNA repeat sequence.
Introduction: Telomerase is an enzyme that was discovered by Elizabeth Blackburn. It is an enzyme involved in the production of telomere in the human body. Telomeres are the protecting units of chromosomes in eukaryotes. They are repeating DNA sequences and contain a 3ʹoverhang at its 3ʹterminal. It has been discovered that protein and RNA are important components of a telomerase enzyme.

Which process is described in the following paragraph?
During DNA synthesis, before the enzyme adds the next nucleotide to a growing DNA strand, it checks whether the previously added nucleotide is correctly base-paired to the template strand. If so, the polymerase adds the next nucleotide; if not, the polymerase clips off the mispaired nucleotide and tries again. This is carried out by cleaving the phosphodiester backbone using the enzyme’s 3’-to-5’ exonuclease activity.
