Question:
Telomeres
Author: AMRIT KAURAnswer:
- Eukaryotic chromosomal DNA molecules have special nucleotide sequences at their ends called telomeres - Telomeres do not prevent the shortening of DNA molecules, but they do postpone the erosion of genes near the ends of DNA molecules - It has been proposed that the shortening of telomeres is connected to aging
