Telomere repetitive DNA sequences control the function of eukaryotic chromosomes because they:

Telomere repetitive DNA sequences control the function of eukaryotic chromosomes because they:
  1. are RNA transcription initiator
  2. help chromosome pairing
  3. prevent chromosome loss
  4. act as replicons.

Solution

The terminal end of the chromosome is known as a telomere. It consists of repetitive DNA sequences. These are stable and resistant to exonuclease digestion and hence essential for chromosome stability.
