Can some one explain telomeres and telomerase? I can't find a good explanation other than telomeres are dna at the ends of chromosomes.

A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromatid, which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighbouring chromosomes.
