True or false: Telomerase is a DNA polymerase. This is not true; telomerase is an enzyme that
adds RNA to chromosome ends to stabilize them. This is true; telomerase is unusual among
DNA polymerases, though, because it carries its own RNA template and synthesizes single-
stranded DNA. This is not true; telomerase is an RNA polymerase, though, it is unusual in that it
carries its own RNA template. This is true; telomerase is unusual among DNA polymerases,
though, in that it carries its own DNA template and synthesizes DNA/RNA hybrids from it..
