Why are telomeres problematic for eukaryotic chromosome replication?
◦ They are highly repetitive and thus hard to replicate correctly.
◦ Telomerase is more error-prone than the normal DNA Polymerase.
◦ The T loop blocks formation of primers on the lagging strand.
◦ Removal of the lagging strand primer leaves a gap in the one of the strand's DNA sequences.
◦ Maintaining very long telomeres promotes cancer cell formation.

Though newer “smart” infusion pumps are increasingly becoming more sophisticated, they cannot prevent all programming and administration errors. Health care professionals that use smart infusion pumps must still practice the rights of medication administration and have other professionals double-check all high-risk infusions.

Did you know?

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.
