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. A tandem arrangement is when things are placed one behind another.
Definition: A board foot is a unit of measure used in the logging and lumber industry. It is a volume measurement that refers to the volume of a board.
- Board feet is a unit of wood volume measuring 144 cubic inches. - Hardwood lumber thickness is measured rough sawn. If you purchase 4/4 boards surfaced on both sides expect to see actual measurements closer to 13/16 rather than a full inch. -If your lumber is already surfaced, calculate board feet on the rough thickness.
