Telomeres are repetitive sequences of DNA that protect the ends of the DNA strand from degradation during replication. They are not synthesized by DNA polymerase during replication, nor are they located at the beginning of the DNA strand. Telomeres are only found in eukaryotic DNA, not prokaryotic.

Option 3 is the correct answer.
