8. telomere
   (tel´o-mēr) either of the ends of a eukaryotic chromosome, consisting of many repeats of a short DNA sequence in specific orientation.

12. telomere
    The ends of a chromosome. Each time a cell divides, the telomeres lose a small amount of DNA and become shorter. Over time, the chromosomes become damaged and the cells die. In cancer cells the telomeres do not get shorter, and may become longer, as the cells divide.

15. Telomere
    (insect morphology) A `telomere` (`end part`) in insect morphology occurs in higher insect orders from Orthoptera to Hymenoptera. In adult insects of these orders, genital claspers may develop in two segments, a proximal basimere and a distal telomere.
