A telomere is the stabilizing end of a chromosome. At the end of each telomere are many short telomeric sequences. Longer, more complex telomere-associated sequences are found adjacent to the telomeric sequences
-Which is a characteristic of DNA sequences at the telomeres?
A) They consist of guanine and adenine (or thymine) nucleotides.
B) They consist of repeated sequences.
C) One strand protrudes beyond the other, creating some singlestanded DNA at the end.
D) All of the above.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Telomeric DNA sequences are characterized by repeated sequences, often rich in guanine, and one strand typically protrudes, creating a single-stranded overhang.
