Telomere Definition. Telomeres are short tandem repeats of nucleotides at the ends of chromosomes. Let's break this definition down a bit. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA, which is the carrier of genetic information.
Function [edit]. Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein polymerase that maintains telomere ends by addition of the telomere repeat TTAGGG. The enzyme consists of a protein component with reverse transcriptase activity, encoded by this gene, and an RNA component that serves as a template for the telomere repeat.unction [edit].
