Is adding repeats of DNA at the ends of chromosome a kind of mutation?

technicly yes, and it may affect the action of the telemorase, but don't forget, even if a mutation doesnt do anything, that doesnt mean it isn't a mutation. most mutations are silent (have no effect).

What term describes a structure that protects the ends of a chromosome?
A Telomere
What is a list of the 3 parts of a chromosome?
Telomere - The ends of the chromosome. Centromere - The primary constriction of the chromosome. Chromatid - A single molecule of DNA. The centromere also divides the chromosome into a short arm (p) and a long arm (q).
What is a circular chromosome?
A circular chromosome is, essentially, exactly what it sounds like: a chromosome (strand of DNA that carries the genetic information of an organism) that is circular. Circular chromosomes are found in prokaryotes such as bacteria, as well as in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Eukaryotic cells, on the other hand, typically have chromosomes that are linear, meaning they have two ends that do not connect.
Explain how two genes on the same chromosome can still assort independently?
the genes are probably located close to each other.
Where in a cell are prokaryotic chromosomes found?
The region of the cytoplasm containing the DNA is called the nucleoid. The term "nucleus" is not appropriate, as there is no nuclear membrane.In bacteria there is a single chromosome, except in the interval between DNA replication and cell division. The chromosome is called circular, meaning that there are no free ends; the DNA molecule is in a loop.
What term describes a structure that protects the ends of a chromosome?
A Telomere
How would you define the word orbit?
path that repeats itself and never ends
Which chromosome structure duplicates itself as the cell ends metaphase?
centromere
Is 17.70027485281086486350.. rational or irrational?
If that's the complete number, then it's rational. But I see two periods after the '350'. Are those meant to suggest that the decimal goes on further ? If so, then in order to answer your question, we need to know whether the decimal ever ends or repeats. -- If it never ends or repeats, then it's an irrational number. -- If it ever ends or repeats, even if the repeat is several thousand digits long, then the number is rational.
Which phase does chromosome strands separate toward opposite ends of the cell?
anaphase
Is Pi a reacurng or terminating decimal?
Neither, it's an irrational number which never ends or repeats.
Is there repition in wake you up when September ends?
Yes, there is repetition in "Wake Me Up When September Ends." If you clearly look at the lyrics, you can see it. It repeats every stanza.
What is the function of telomerase?
Telomerase function is to protect the chromosome ends. This protein binds to the ends of the chromosomes solving issues with DNA end replication
How do you subtraction a negative integer?
same as adding but it ends up negative
What is a list of the 3 parts of a chromosome?
Telomere - The ends of the chromosome. Centromere - The primary constriction of the chromosome. Chromatid - A single molecule of DNA. The centromere also divides the chromosome into a short arm (p) and a long arm (q).
How do you determine if a decimal is rational or not?
A decimal is a rational number if it ever ends, or if it repeats the same single digit or set of digits forever.
What is metacemtricussubmetacentricus and telocentricus?
Metacemtric is chromosomes where the arms are equal. Submetricus is when the chromosome arms are unequal.A telocentric chromosomes are chromosomes centromere is located at the terminal end of the chromosome.Telomeres may extend from both ends of the chromosome.
