   Telomere
   Telomere: The end of a chromosome, a specialized structure involved in the replication and stability of the chromosome. On the DNA level, the telomere is a dull stretch of road. It is a length of DNA monotonously made up of a recurring motif of 6 nucleotide bases (namely, the sequence TTAGGG) together with various associated proteins. The TTAGGG mo ...

   Telomere
   A `telomere` is a region of highly repetitive DNA at the end of a linear chromosome that functions as a disposable buffer. Every time linear chromosomes are replicated during late S phase, the DNA polymerase complex is incapable of replicating all the way to the end of the chromosome; if it were not for telomeres, this would quickly result in the loss of vital genetic information, which is needed to sustain a cell's activities. Every time a cell ...

   telomere
   (tel´o-mēr) either of the ends of a eukaryotic chromosome, consisting of many repeats of a short DNA sequence in specific orientation. Telomere functions include protecting the ends of the chromosome, so that chromosomes do not end up joined together, and allowing replication of the extreme ends of the chromo...

    telomere
