The non-sticky chromosomal ends are known as-

Options

A. Chromatids
B. Centromere
C. Chromomere
D. Telomere

Answer

D

Explanation

The telomeres do not have any overhanging ends of nucleotides so it is known as non sticky chromosome ends called telomere. A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromatid, which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes.


The end-replication problem. Unlike bacterial chromosomes, the chromosomes of eukaryotes are linear (rod-shaped), meaning that they have ends. ... The DNA at the very end of the chromosome cannot be fully copied in each round of replication, resulting in a slow, gradual shortening of the chromosome.
