telomere
n. [遗] 端粒
例句
Now a telomere is a highly repetitious and genetically meaningless sequence of DNA, what we were calling junk DNA.
端粒是高度重复的,从基因上来说没有意义的 DNA 序列,我们称之为垃圾 DNA。
Every time the Chromosome divides—every time one cell divides into two—pieces of the ends of the Chromosome, the telomere, get broken off.
当每次染色体分裂时——即当每次一个细胞分裂成两个时——染色体的尾部,也就是端区,就会发生断裂。
Anyway, if we examine these ends of these coils of DNA, we will find a sequence of DNA at each end of every human Chromosome, called a telomere.
无论如何,如果我们检查这些螺旋状 DNA 的末端,我们会发现每条人类染色体的末端都有一个被称作“端粒”的 DNA 序列。
