"Telophase" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Telophase is the final stage of mitosis, the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell. It is a stage of cell division where the chromosomes, which were separated in anaphase, move towards opposite poles of the cell and begin to re-form into two separate nuclei, each containing the identical set of chromosomes. During telophase, the nuclear envelope begins to form around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes uncoil to form chromatin. The nucleolus reforms, and the spindle fibers that held the chromosomes apart during the previous stages of mitosis begin to break down.
Telomerase is an enzyme that extends telomeres, the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes. It maintains the stability and integrity of the telomeres, which get progressively shorter every time a cell divides, allowing cells to age. Abnormal telomerase activity has been linked to various diseases, including cancer, as it can help cancer cells maintain their telomeres and continue to divide indefinitely.
A telomere is a region at the end of a chromosome that is composed of repetitive nucleotide sequences and protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes. Telomeres are like the plastic caps on shoelaces, keeping the chromosome from fraying and degraded each time the cell divides.
Telomeres are repetitive nucleotide sequences located at the ends of chromosomes, which protect them from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes. They shorten as a cell divides, and when they become too short, the cell can no longer divide and enters a state of senescence or undergoes programmed cell death (apoptosis).
Telomeric refers to the ends (telomeres) of chromosomes, which are protective caps that safeguard the ends of chromosomes from degradation or fusion with neighboring chromosomes.
Telomere, from the Greek word "telos" (end) and "meros" (part), is the short, repetitive sequence of nucleotides found at the very tip of a chromosome. Telomeres consist of guanine-rich DNA repeats (5'-TTAGGG in most humans) and protect the chromosome from deteriorating or fused with neighboring chromosomes.
A collagen cleavage product.<br><br>Telopeptide is a term used in biochemistry to describe a fragment of a collagen molecule that is obtained by cleavage of the collagen triple helix. Specifically, it refers to the terminal sequences of the collagen molecule, which are usually non-helical regions at the N- and C-termini of the collagen chain.<br><br>Telopeptides are unique to collagen and are resistant to proteolytic digestion by most collagenases. They are often used as markers for the monitoring of bone resorption, particularly in the diagnosis and monitoring of osteoporosis.<br><br>The term "tele" comes from the Greek word for "far" or "distant," and "peptide" refers to a short chain of amino acids. In the context of collagen, telopeptides are the distant peptides at the ends of the collagen molecule.
Telosporidia is a term used in mycology (the study of fungi) to describe a group of fungi that form conidia (asexual spores) within a spore-bearing structure called a teliospore.<br><br>In other words, telosporidia are a type of fungal spore that develops within a teliospore, which is a thick-walled, usually large spore that is produced on the surface of a fungus. These spores are typically formed in the later stages of the fungal life cycle, often in response to environmental stress or as a means of dispersal.<br><br>Telosporidia are commonly found in certain fungal groups, such as those in the order Ustilaginales (smut fungi) and the family Urocystidaceae (a type of rust fungus).
Telotype refers to a photography technique used to re-shoot existing photographs or artworks using retouching and moderately late 19th-century layering and skimming techniques.
A telecompher refers to a forerunner of a modern telephone system. It was an electrical engineering innovation developed in the 18th century in France that used electrical signals to transmit the human voice over wires. The invention of this device was a key milestone in the history of telecommunications.
