Chapter 27, Problem 27.21AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The primary purpose of telomeres has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Telomeres: They are the compound structure seen in the end of the chromosome.
Telomeres of human consist of long repetitive series of
Telomeres are covers present at the end which protect the chromosome ends from damaging it accidently. It also prevents the ends of DNA from fusing together with DNA of another chromosome.

- Deficiencies of carnitine, carnitine acyltransferases, or carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase affect the metabolism of long-chain fatty acids. Many of the symptoms are similar, and include hypoketotic hypoglycemia, low ketone levels and low blood sugar with fasting, and damage to the liver, heart, or muscles due to fatty acid buildup in those tissues. Symptom severity varies with the form of the deficiency. The following abbreviations are used: carnitine acyltransferase (carnitine palmitoyltransferase), CPT and carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase, CACT. Identify each symptom or effect as a deficiency of CPT I, CPT II, or CACT.
