In biology, there are at least two kinds of telomere:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telomere_(disambiguation)
I don't know if 端粒 can be used for both, but it certainly is used for "cap on the end of a chromosome".

The other telomere is "genital clasper" (which certain insects have)!
Diff:
- 端粒 端粒 [duan1 li4] /telomere/
+ 端粒 端粒 [duan1 li4] /telomere, a protective DNA cap on a chromosome/
