What part of the chromosome might be involved with processes such as aging and cancer

Telomere

Explanation:

Chromosomes that gained its name from Chroma and Soma from Greek words is made up of protein and a single molecules of (DNA)deoxyribonucleic acid refers to thread-like structure that is found in the nucleus of cells(plant and animal). It contains specific instructions that is responsible for creature been unique

Telomeres serves as protection for the chromosomes. They are stretches of DNA that is found at the ends of linear chromosomes.

Whenever a cell divides they usually lose a bit of their DNA, and once all the telomere DNA is gone the cell will die and their won't be replication of cells.

Telomeres helps in preventing cancer in such a way that the telomere of the chromosomes of malignant cells is not allow to get lose and this prevent the uncontrolled growth of cancer which can be dangerous.

Therefore, the chromosome part that might be involved with processes such as aging and cancer is TELOMERE.
