Telomerase is an enzyme that adds repetitive nucleotide sequences to the 3' end of DNA. This process helps to protect the ends of chromosomes from degradation and maintains the integrity of the genome. Hence option 1 is the correct answer.

Option(2) Telomerase is an enzyme that adds repetitive nucleotide sequences to the 3' end of DNA.   Hence option 2 is incorrect.

Option(3) Telomerase is an enzyme that adds repetitive nucleotide sequences to the 3' end of DNA. Hence option 3 is incorrect.

Option(4) Telomerase is an enzyme that adds repetitive nucleotide sequences to the 3' end of DNA.  Hence option 4 is incorrect.
