Question

Telomeres are located at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. Select all the statements which describe the structure or function of telomeres

Select one or more:

a. A special repeated sequence which can be extended by a rolling circle mechanism of replication

b. The free ends of telomeres are freely available to DNA repair enzymes.

c. The free ends of telomeres form a loop which is critical to protect the ends of chromosomes.

d. Shortening of telomeres occurs during transcription of the TR2 protein which is encoded in this region of the genome.

e. Shortening of telomeres is due to requirement for an RNA primer during DNA replication

f. Telomeres are not really required for chromosome stability

B.The free ends of telomeres are freely available to DNA repair enzymes.

C. The free ends of telomeres form a loop which is critical to protect the ends of chromosomes.

e. Shortening of telomeres is due to requirement for an RNA primer during DNA replication
