Summary Introduction

To analyze:

Do bacterial chromosomes possess centromeres and telomeres?

Formulate a debate for each answer, explain each answer with yes or no with suitable reasons and relate it to evolutionary aspects.

Introduction:

Centromeres are the most constricted regions present on the chromosome that determine kinetochore formation and sister chromatid cohesion.

Telomere is the repetitive nucleotide sequence (near about 3000 times) at the end of the chromosome which forms the cap which protects the end of chromosomes from damaging and forming a fusion with another chromosome during cell division. Both structures are present in linear chromosomes found in eukaryotes.
