Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stretch of repeated sequences at the end of a DNA molecule that forms a cap is called a telomere. Chromomeres are distinct regions of condensed chromosome when viewed under a microscope. Centromeres are the region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids are joined. Telophase is the final stage of mitosis where chromosomes have reached opposite poles and the nuclear envelope starts to reform. Karyomere is not a recognized term in biology.
