Today the topic is telomeres. I really want to break this down very simply so you can understand what telomeres do and why telomeres are important.


What are telomeres?

A telomere is the DNA structure at the end of chromosomes. It can be compared to the plastic end of a shoestring that protects it from fraying. 

You can look at chromosomes as the entire DNA strand with everything connected to it. So, think of it as the entire shoestring. 

DNA are sections of genes. But, the entire collective chain of DNA is the chromosome. 

Telomeres are basically DNA structures at the end of chromosomes that shorten with each division. 


Telomeres:

 • Protect the ends of chromosomes

 • Are related to lifespan

 • The shorter the telomere the less gene expression and repair 

 • Are considered junk DNA (but they do have a purpose)
