Seal the ends of chromosomes. The telomere is a "ribonucleoprotein complex" composed of a protein component and an RNA primer sequence which acts to protect the terminal ends of chromosomes. This prevents chromosomal disintegration and prevents the ends of the chromosome from being processed as a double strand DNA break, which could lead to chromosome-tochromosome telomere fusions.
