Which option is NOT a correct match of an enzyme and its function?

1.

RNA primase: catalyzes the addition of an RNA "primer" to the first available spaces of a DNA strand during replication

2.

DNA helicase: removes telomeres to make room for new DNA nucleotides

3.

RNA polymerase: catalyzes the addition of RNA nucleotides to an mRNA strand during transcription

4.

DNA polymerase: catalyzes the addition of DNA nucleotides to a new DNA strand during replication

3. RNA polymerase catalyzes the addition of RNA nucleotides to an mRNA strand during transcription

Explanation:

The RNA polymerase uses a single stranded DNA template to synthesize a complementary RNA strand in transcription not by adding RNA nucleotides to mRNA
