Telomere repetitive DNA sequences control the function of eukaryotic chromosomes because they:

  1. A
    act as replicons
  2. B
    are RNA transcription initiator
  3. C
    help chromosome pairing
  4. D
    prevent chromosome loss

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences (like TTAGGG in humans) found at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. They function as protective caps that prevent the loss of genetic information during DNA replication and protect chromosomes from degradation or fusion with other chromosomes.
