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.
Itâs not as confusing as it sounds as long as you remember that a board foot is a measure of volume equal to a square foot one inch thick. So a 1â by 12â a foot long and a 2â by 6â of the same length both equal one board foot. Rough lumber measurements in width and thickness are used when calculating board feet even if the lumber has been planed down.
