Do telomeres contain genes?

No, telomeres do not contain genes. Telomeres consist of repetitive DNA sequences that do not code for proteins. Their primary function is to protect the ends of chromosomes from degradation and to prevent the loss of genetic material from the coding regions during DNA replication. Although telomeres do not directly code for proteins, they play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of the genetic information within the rest of the chromosome.
