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.
