Telomeres are found at the ends of chromosomes. These specialized regions of repetitive DNA sequences cap each chromosome, serving as protective structures. In humans and most eukaryotic organisms, every chromosome has two telomeres, one at each end. They are crucial for protecting the chromosomal DNA during cell division, as the DNA replication machinery is unable to fully replicate the very ends of chromosomes.
