Telomeres and its functions
Telomeres consist of repetitive nucleotide sequences, specifically TTAGGG in humans, which can repeat up to several thousand times. This repetitive nature forms a buffer zone that protects the essential coding regions of the DNA from being eroded during cell division. Each time a cell divides, a small portion of the telomere is lost, rather than the vital genetic information2. The protective role of telomeres is akin to the plastic tips at the ends of shoelaces, which prevent the laces from fraying. Without telomeres, the ends of chromosomes would be recognized as broken DNA, leading to potential chromosomal fusion or degradation, which can trigger cell death or malfunction.
