Answer: B the ends of linear chromosomes.

Explanation:

Based on structure, telomeres are located at the end of chromosomes; they are protective caps that bind the genes at the end of the chromosomes in order to prevent it from interchromosomal fusion (clumping) and degradation (broken down). Simply, they serve the same role as plastic caps to the tip of shoe laces; preventing it from unraveling.

.

Generally, telomeres becomes short in length with time. At this stage they become weaken, and breaks down. The affected the cells basic replication activites, and therefore the functions. These non-functioning cells accumulated in body organs, and made them to degenerate .This reduced longevity, leading to death of cells. However the shortening of the length is an advantage to prevent the spread of cancer in cells because I naturally stops the uncontrivable growth of cells

Therefore the longer the length of    telomeres at the genome end of chromosomes, the higher the rate of replication of the concerned cells, and hence the increase in the age of the cell

What are the two major methods by which cells communicate to coordinate their functions?.
Anni [7]

Chemical messengers and the Electrical signals are the two main methods by which cells communicate with each other to coordinate their functions and metabolic activities.

According to biologist, A cell communicates through chemical messengers, by sending the chemical signals to other cells and also receive that signal from another cell. Similarly, Electrical signals or impulses also work in the same way.

Therefore, body contains many types of lipids which works as a chemical messengers also electical signal or impulses can easily travel throught these lipids. Cell uses these chemical messengers and electrical impulses to communicate with other cell. Although, In order to trigger a response, these signals are transmitted across the cell membrane of the cell.

Tay-Sachs disease is due to the absence of an enzyme that
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: <em>D. Causes an accumulation of lipids in brain cells</em>

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs disease is caused by a genetic mutation in the <em>HEXA</em> gene. It is an autosomal recessive disease that causes the mutation on an enzyme, which metabolizes <em>GM2 Ganglioside</em> in nerve cells, this leads to a build-up of the molecule in brain cells. At the moment there is no cure for the disease, only support treatment is available.
