They are apart of our DNA. They protect genes. Alot of research is going into them because there is a theory of thought that says if you can extend your telomers you can live forever. they shorten every time your DNA replicates. Also from smoking lack of exercise and being having alot of fat. studies also show that short telomers are linked to Heart diseases and high blood pressure.
What else can I help you with?
What are the end of the chromosome called?
The ends of chromosomes are called telomeres. Telomeres help protect the ends of the chromosome from deteriorating or fusing with other chromosomes during cell division. They also play a role in determining the lifespan of a cell.
What is a telomer?
A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at the end of a chromosome that protects it from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes. Telomeres shorten with each cell division, eventually contributing to cellular aging and senescence. They play a crucial role in maintaining genomic stability.
What type of organic molecule that are acids?
Fatty acids , amino acids , acids in Kreb's cycle .
What is the term that describes acids which give a low concentration of hydronium ions?
Such acids are considered weak acids, such as organic acids.
Is carbon present in fatty acids or amino acids?
Yes. Carbon is present in fatty acids (carboxylic acids) as well as in amino acids.
How many acids are their?
amino acids?? 20 amino acids
Proteins are formed of building blocks called?
Amino acids held together by peptide bonds.
Are carboxylic acids truly acids?
Yes, they are also organic acids.
List all acids?
There are a great many acids in the world. Acids in the world include hydrochloric acid, stomach acid, fruit acids, and battery acids.
What is an acid and why are amino acids and fatty acids called acids?
Acid are those which donates protons (H+). bronsted and lowry theory. amino acids and fatty acids produces protons that's why they are called Acids .
What repeating units make up a protein fatty acids peptide acids amino acids carboxylic acids?
A protein is made up of chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Fatty acids are the building blocks of lipids, while peptides are made up of chains of amino acids but are shorter than proteins. Carboxylic acids are organic compounds that contain a carboxyl group.
What is true about weak acids as compared to strong acids?
Weak acids have a larger value of pKa than strong acids
