Chapter 24, Problem 83P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The reason for loss of as many as 200
Concept introduction: Every human being got a genetic makeup that contains about three billion pairs of nucleotides that are distributed over 46 chromosomes.
At the ends of chromosomes, telomeres are specialized structures as in vertebrates, telomeres carry TTAGGG sequencing repeated n number of times.
