Q. The terminal end of chromosomes is called

Haryana PMTHaryana PMT 2009

Solution:

The term telomere is used for an end of a eukaryotic chromosome. Such ends are non-sticky and hence prevent the chromosomal ends from being sticking or degrading. It also facilitates the attachment of chromosomes with nuclear envelope.
