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).

A chromosome that is exposed to a mutagen breaks into two pieces. A portion off one of the ends is removed before the two pieces rejoin. The mutation that occurs is?

The mutation that occurs is known as a deletion. When a chromosome breaks and a portion is removed before the fragments rejoin, it results in the loss of genetic material from that chromosome. This deletion can lead to disrupted gene function and may have various effects on the organism, depending on the genes affected and the size of the deleted segment.


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.


Heterochromatic regions at the ends of chromosomes are?

telomeres, which are essential for maintaining the stability and integrity of the chromosome. They protect the chromosome ends from degradation and prevent them from fusing with other chromosomes. Telomeres also play a role in regulating the cell's lifespan and preventing chromosomal abnormalities.


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 term describes a structure that protects the ends of a chromosome?

Telomere. Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences located at the ends of chromosomes that help protect them from degradation and prevent the loss of genetic information during cell division.

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.

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

What do you call a decimal number that ends or recurrs?

A decimal number that ends is called a terminating decimal, while a decimal number that repeats a specific sequence of digits indefinitely is referred to as a repeating or recurring decimal. For example, 0.75 is a terminating decimal, and 0.333... (where the 3 repeats) is a repeating decimal. Both types can be expressed as fractions.


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.


Which phase does chromosome strands separate toward opposite ends of the cell?

Anaphase is the phase in which chromosome strands separate and move towards opposite ends of the cell. This movement is facilitated by spindle fibers pulling the sister chromatids apart towards the centrosomes at opposite poles of the cell.
