Why are telomeres a necessary component of linear chromosomes?

Biology
1 answer:
Lerok [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Bacause they protect the chromosomes

Explanation:

A telomere is a repetitive region located at the ends of a chromosome, their function is to act as caps to protect the inner regions when the chromosome is worn down during DNA replication. This worning out happens because a short stretch of DNA is not covered by an Okazaki fragment and therefore is not copied, eventually over multiple rounds of division <em>the telomers will prevent the shortening to reach the important inner part that contains the genetical information.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

The healthcare provider makes the diagnosis of transient ischemic attacks (tias). the client asks the nurse, "what causes tias?"
Mila [183]
A transient ischemic attack has the same causes as that of an ischemic stroke, and it's also called a mini-stroke. They can happen when a clot blocks the blood supply to a part of the brain. Unlike the ischemic stroke, a transient ischemic attack has a blockage more brief and usually doesn't cause permanent damage.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Lysosome............Digest macromolecules.

Explanation:

Lysosomes is the membrane bound cell organelle that plays an important role in the cellular digestion. The proteins through the protein processing are transferred to the lysosomes as well.

Lysosomes are also known as suicidal bags as they have the ability to digest their own genetic material. The lysosomes contains acidic pH and different enzymes that are responsible for the degradation of macromolecules. Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids are digested in the lysosomes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).
