Solution
The correct option is D Telomere
A chromatid is one of two identical halves of a chromosome. Sister chromatids are 2 identical halves which are joined by the centromere in a chromosome. A chromomere is serially arranged beads of a chromosome which have resulted from super coiling of a continuous DNA thread. It is more distinct during prophase. Telomere is a cap like structure present at the end of each strand of DNA. It protects the chromosome from sticking to another chromosome. It also protects the genetic material during cell division. It occurs 4 times in a chromosome.Thus, the correct answer is 'Telomere.'
