What is a telomere?
A) The mechanism that holds two sister chromatids together
B) DNA replication during telophase
C) The site of origin of DNA replication
D) The ends of linear chromosomes
Answered
The correct answer is:
D) The ends of linear chromosomes
Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences located at the ends of linear chromosomes. They protect the chromosomes from degradation, prevent the loss of important genetic information during DNA replication, and play a role in maintaining chromosomal stability.
