Watch it, I don't like Eric Idle any more. He's a money grubbing ornery a-hole.

Why can't all the DNA in a chromatid be duplicated during Mitosis, and what do Telomeres do?

He threatened to sue the makers of Shrek the Third for paying homage to Monty Python and the Holy Grail....with coconuts for hoof-beats.

I believe it's something to do with the way enzymes read and duplicate the DNA strand. It's been a while since I did anything to do with mitosis.

Exactly.

Telomeres act as buffers at the ends of chromosomes, basically junk DNA which codes for nothing, and a small chunk of telomere DNA is lost during Mitosis. When there is too little of the telomere left, the DNA is no longer replicated, as loss beyond the telomere may cause cancer. That's when aging starts to occur.

I know telomeres act as a buffer, as well as an aging yardstick. But it is also a quirk of the enzymes involved in DNA replication that some DNA is mismatched at the end. The telomeres are a protection against that. It is in fact too much telomeres (via too much telomerase) that is an indication of cancer. The actual cause of cancer is the overactivation of growth genes, and the suppression of genes that are supposed to either stop replication, or signal cell apoptosis due to damage.

*Kicks ShadesOfMe down a handy hole in the ground, then throws a packet of tortillas, a paraffin stove, a packet of beef mince, and burrito mince powder down after her.*

There. Cook it, eat it, and be quiet. Preferably in that order.

Kids these days! :lol:

Beef mince=ground beef. I don't know what Quatermass has got in his kitchen, but I've got Hoyt's™ Mexican Hot Spice Mix (Multi Use), and that's what I use when I make nachos.

I don't have any burrito stuff at the moment, but I can get:

*Beef mince (or ground beef for non-Australians)

*Tortillas

*Flavouring stachel (just mix it into the mince while cooking)

*Cheese (Only thing I put into burritos besides mince)
