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

Population density refers to the determination of population in a unit area or unit volume. It is generally applicable to the living species, and majorly to the humans. It is an essential geographical term and its a quantity of type number density.  

In the given case, it can be seen that New Zealand exhibits a smaller population in comparison to Australia, but it has a greater population density as it encompasses a much smaller region.  

On the other hand, the population of Australia is about five times more than New Zealand, but Australia covers about 30 times more area in comparison to what New Zealand covers.

Chemoautotrophy is unique to prokaryotes because eukaryotes cannot use inorganic compounds as a chemical energy source. false tr
creativ13 [48]

Answer: True

Explanation: Like all living things, prokaryotes need energy and carbon. They get energy from inorganic chemical compounds.

Chemoautotrophs are organism that utilizes inorganic molecules to supply energy for the organism, and use carbon dioxide as a carbon source. Chemoautotrophs are mostly prokaryotes that break down hydrogen sulfide and ammonia.

Most Eukaryotes cannot utilize these inorganic molecules as energy source.
