Telomeres are the protective caps located at the ends of linear chromosomes. They consist of repetitive sequences of DNA and associated proteins that play a crucial role in maintaining the stability and integrity of the genetic material. Each time a cell divides, a small portion of the telomere sequence is lost due to the limitations of DNA replication. This process helps to prevent the loss of important genetic information from the chromosome itself.
