On Quizlet, a telomere is defined as a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences located at the ends of chromosomes that serves to protect the chromosomes from degradation and fusion with other chromosomes. Telomeres prevent the loss of genetic material during DNA replication by acting as a buffer zone, ensuring that important genetic information is not lost with each cell division. Quizlet provides flashcards, definitions, and diagrams that explain the function of telomeres, their role in aging, and their involvement in disease processes.
