Q. Telomere repetitive DNA sequences control the function of eukaryotic chromosomes because they
A) are RNA transcription initiator
B) help chromosome pairing
C) prevent chromosome loss
D) act as replicons
Explanation
[Solution from source] Telomeres are repetitive caps at chromosome ends that stop the ends from being degraded, fused or shortened at each replication, so they keep chromosomes stable and prevent their loss. Replication origins (replicons) and promoters are different sequences. Answer (3).
