Question

Which of the following statements is false?

Most eukaryotes have species specific tandem repeats at the end of their chromosomes.

Synthesis of the telomeres involves mechanisms different than those used during replication of the remainder of the chromosome.

Most human cells express telomerase activity, extending the telomeres with each division.

Telomere length is variable, but most organisms and cell types have characteristic telomeric lengths.

Bacteria with a circular chromosome lack telomeres.
