Question

Function of telomeres in nucleus :

• A. Pole ward movement
• B. To initiate the RNA synthesis
• C. To seal the ends of chromosome
• D. To recognize the homologous chromosome

Answer 1

The correct option is C To seal the ends of chromosome

Telomeres are controlled by the presence of the enzyme telomerase. A telomere is a repeating DNA sequence (for example, TTAGGG) at the end of the chromosomes. Telomeres function by preventing chromosomes from losing base pair sequences at their ends. They also stop chromosomes from fusing with each other.

So, the correct answer is 'To seal the ends of chromosome'.
