    D)                 ribonucleoprotein

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Ends of an eukaryotic chromosome are known as telomeres. These are very necessary for integrity of chromosomes. Telomeres are characterized by repeated DNA sequences (2-10 bp long). This feature is common to all chromosomes of a species and is conserved. Telomerase, which is a special ribonucleoprotein molecule (enzymatic in nature) is responsible for the synthesis of these telomeres.
