The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the name of the end of a chromosome. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Telomere - B) Centromere - C) Satellite - D) Metamere 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Telomere**: This is the correct answer. Telomeres are repetitive non-coding sequences located at the ends of chromosomes. They protect the chromosome from damage and prevent fusion with other chromosomes. - **Centromere**: This is not the correct answer. The centromere is the constricted region of a chromosome that separates the short arm from the long arm and serves as an attachment point for spindle fibers during cell division. - **Satellite**: This refers to repetitive non-coding sequences within the chromosome but does not pertain to the ends of chromosomes. - **Metamere**: This term is not relevant in the context of chromosomes and is incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the end of a chromosome is called a **Telomere**. **Final Answer**: The end of a chromosome is called a **Telomere**. ---
