How many telomeres per chromosome?
Answered
There are two telomeres per chromosome: one at each end of the chromosome. Telomeres protect the ends of chromosomes from damage and prevent the loss of genetic material during DNA replication. As a result, every chromosome in a typical eukaryotic cell, such as human cells, has two telomeric regions, one on each end of the chromosome.
