Q

T/F: Telomeres and centromeres are only present in eukaryotic cells.

47
Q

This is the tip of each chromosome with tandem repeats of a hexameric sequence.

48
Q

Hexameric sequence, does not code for any information

49
Q

Term for the hexameric sequence

50
Q

Nucleotides in telomere

A

50-400 nucleotides

51
Q

Where are telomeres often compared to?

A

aglets of shoelaces

52
Q

Functions of Telomere

A
  1. Preventing abnormal end-to-end fusion of chromosomes
  2. Protecting the ends of chromosomes from degradation
  3. Ensuring complete DNA replication
  4. Having a role in chromosome pairing during meiosis
53
Q

Function of telomere in early meiosis

A

anchoring chromosomes to inner membrane, homologous chromosome pairing

54
Q

T/F: Longer telomeres, longer life span.

55
Q

Found in the end of telomere, lengthens it and has a role in inactivation.

A

Telomerase

56
Q

This refers to the limited cellular division.

A

Hayflick limit / Hayflick model
