Which of the following statements regarding telomeres is false? They are not related to the structural integrity of chromosomes. They are composed of heterochromatin. They contain regions of DNA that are genetically inert. They stain more lightly during interphase. They replicate late during S phase.

Euchromatin is replicated throughout the S phase while heterochromatin is replicated late in the S phase. c. Euchromatin has higher numbers of genes than heterochromatin. d. Euchromatin has fewer crossovers than heterochromatin. e. Euchromatin is found in the arms of chromosomes while heterochromatin is found at the centromeres, telomeres, and other specific locations.

Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding telomeres? Telomeres on the lagging-strand are incompletely replicated. Telomeres are comprised of repeating sequences of DNA. Telomere synthesis requires a DNA template on the leading strand. Telomeres are DNA sequences added to the template strand.
