Chromosomes And Cell Division

Question 1

Telomeres

Answer 1

Sections of non coding, repetitive DNA that acts as a protective cap on the tip of each chromosome. Everytime a cell divides it gets shorter

Question 2

Cells that rebuild telomeres

Answer 2

Single-celled eukaryotes and cells that produce gametes

Question 3

Cancer

Answer 3

Telomere rebuilding and uncontrolled cell division

Question 4

What happens when telomeres get too short?

Answer 4

Additional cell divisions cause the loss of essential DNA and cell death

Question 5

Question 6

Eukaryotic cell

Answer 6

Has a nucleus

Question 7

Question 8
