Answered
A telomere functions to prevent a cell from losing important genetic material during DNA replication, avoiding chromosome degradation or fusion with other chromosomes. Telomeres protect the ends of chromosomes from damage and play a role in limiting the number of divisions a cell can undergo, contributing to cellular aging and preventing uncontrolled cell growth, which could lead to cancer.
