Question

In many eukaryotes, there are repetitive sequences called telomeres at the end of the chromosomes. After successive rounds of dna replication, the ________ strand becomes shorter. In some cells, an enzyme called ___________ repairs the shortened strand.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Thanks to these problems, part of the DNA at the end of a eukaryotic chromosome goes uncopied in each round of replication, leaving a single-stranded overhang. Over multiple rounds of cell division, the chromosome will get shorter and shorter as this process repeats.
