Practise AP Biology 6.1.A questions by explaining how repetitive telomere DNA protects genetic information at the ends of linear chromosomes during replication.
Telomeres are repetitive sequences of DNA found on the ends of linear chromosomes. With each cycle of DNA replication, a few bases are lost from the telomeres and the length of telomeres decrease. What is the function of telomeres?
to assist in the synthesis of proteins
to protect the genetic information in chromosomes during cell division
to correct mutations in DNA
to inhibit cell division
