<p>Regarding telomere sequence, &#39;Why the sequence is TTAGGG?&#39;</p>
 
<p>My Answer:</p>
 
<p>It can be related with stop codon. Because, TAG among the T<strong>TAG</strong>GG sequence is stop codon and by using it as a template, <strong>AAT</strong>CCC in different strand.</p>
 
<p>So, by the opposite direction, TAA is also stop codon.</p>

<p>Regarding telomere length, in animal, if you have a longer telomere, it means die earlier. (By comparing mouse and human.)&nbsp;</p>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
<p>My answer:</p>
 
<p>Although the telomere length is longer but the cell cycle time can be different.</p>
 
<p>&nbsp;</p>
 
<p>Jhong siad it could be a reason because, they can die early if the cell cycle time is short eventhough they have longer telomere.&nbsp;</p>
