view available hint(s)
centromeres
polypeptides
telomeres

chromomeres
Telomeres are the repetitive DNA sequences at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. They protect the chromosome ends from degradation and fusion with other chromosomes. Centromeres are the regions where spindle fibers attach during cell division. Polypeptides are chains of amino acids. Sarcomeres are the basic units of muscle contraction. Chromomeres are bead - like structures on chromosomes.
