What are telomeres and their function in regulating cell division? What would happen if a cell had telomeres that never changed in length?
Homework Answers
- What are telomeres
Answer- Telomeres are present at the end of a chromosome. They are the cap-like structure that protects the ends of the chromosome.
- their function in regulating cell division
Answer- Telomere are repeated sequences present at the end of a chromosome. DNA polymerase is unable to replicate the end of the chromosome, this will result in loss of the important gene, hence telomere is replicated by telomerase. Overtime length of telomere decreases over time, as the number of the cell cycle of a cell increases telomere length decreases, after 30 cycles the cell stops dividing and dies (Apototpsis).
- What would happen if a cell had telomeres that never changed in length?
Answer-If the length of telomere never changes then the cell will be able to be to divide forever.

Critical Thinking Question (5 pts.) (You may use the back of the page to write your answer if needed) Today you have learned about DNA, the cell cycle, chromosomes, and the special end-tips of the chromosomes called Telomeres. Each time a cell divides the Telomeres get shorter and shorter, until they get so short that a cell stops dividing and eventually dies This is a part of normal aging process. We know that stress can speed up the shortening of...
