Question:

Telomeres

Author: AMRIT KAUR



Answer:

- 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​
