Question

which enzyme is responsible for the replication of chromosome ends in germ cells and certain proliferating somatic cells? dna ligase geminin dna polymerase δ topoisomerase telomerase

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

DNA ligase joins DNA fragments; geminin inhibits DNA replication licensing; DNA polymerase δ synthesizes lagging strand DNA; topoisomerase relieves DNA supercoiling. Telomerase is the enzyme that adds repetitive sequences to the ends (telomeres) of chromosomes, enabling their replication in germ cells and some proliferating somatic cells.

Answer:

telomerase
