意味（1）

(genetics) Either of the sequences of DNA at each end of a eukaryotic chromosome.

Chromosome ends or telomeres are composed of guanine-rich repeat sequences and associated proteins. A minimum number of repeats is essential for proper telomere function and to avoid sustained activation of DNA damage pathways that may result in replicative senescence or cell death.
