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.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

In the United States, an estimated 50 million unnecessary antibiotics are prescribed for viral respiratory infections.
