Telomeres are found at the end of chromosomes to protect genes from reduction during replication of chromosomes, especially during meiosis or mitosis. They are composed of repetitive sequences that do not code for protein. Telomeres become reducted <span>especially  due</span> to the inability of the lagging strand to be completely replicated to the end of the chromosome. However, while the telomeres become shorted with every replication, the telomeres are usually slightly elongated by telomerase reverse transcriptase.

  • Acetyl CoA combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate and releases CoA.
  • Two carbon atoms are released from acetyl CoA and combine with oxygen to form carbon dioxide.

The sequence of steps is correct in the question i.e. 1 → 2 → 3

These are the first three steps in the citric acid cycle which occurs during the cellular respiration.
