Telomeres are located at the ends of chromosomes. These regions consist of repetitive DNA sequences that protect the chromosome from degradation and prevent the chromosome ends from fusing with other chromosomes. Each chromosome in a cell has two telomeres, one at each end, which play a crucial role in maintaining chromosomal integrity during cell division.
