Correct answer: D. Telomeres
- A. Satellite
- B. Kinetochore
- C. Nucleolar organizer
- D. Telomeres
Explanation
A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromatid, which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighbouring chromosomes.
