a0602_telomere_replication

Question 1 of 3

The purpose of telomere replication is to:

elongate the ends of chromosomes in order to generate new genes.

elongate the ends of chromosomes to serve as attachment sites for microtubules during mitosis.

prevent shortening of each chromosome during DNA replication of the lagging strand, which eventually would damage genes near the chromosome ends.

trim back the leading strand end perfectly match the shortened length of the lagging strand for chromosome stability.

None of the above
