The enzyme telomerase also called as
A
Telomerase initial transferase
B
Telomere terminal transferase
C
Telomere transferase
D
Telomerase and terminase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Telomerase, also called terminal transferase, is a ribonucleoprotein that adds a species-dependent telomere repeat sequence to the 3’ end of telomeres. A telomere is a region of repetitive sequences at each end of the chromosomes of most eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Telomerase is a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for progressive synthesis of telomeric DNA repeats (TTAGGG) at the 3′ ends of linear chromosomes, thereby reversing the loss of DNA from each round of replication.

Detailed explanation-3: -Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is a subunit of the enzyme complex telomerase, which adds nucleotides to the ends of telomeres as they become shortened during cell division [95].
