(b)

Summary Introduction

To name: The enzyme that makes DNA strands from an RNA template.

Concept introduction: Telomerase is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. This enzyme helps to extend the telomeric region by using RNA as a template. Reverse transcriptase in another enzyme synthesizes complementary DNA (cDNA) by utilizing RNA as a template strand.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To name: The enzyme that makes an RNA strand from a DNA template.
