In humans, telomeres have the following sequence

5'-GGCTTG-3'

5'-TTAGGG-3'

5'-TAACGT-3'

5'-GTAGGC-3'

High-Yield Explanation

The ends of each chromosome contain structures called telomeres. Telomeres consist of sho TG-rich repeats. Human telomeres have a variable number of repeats of the sequence 5'-TTAGGG-3', which can extend for several kilobases. Ref: Biochemistry by U. Satyanarayana 3rd edition Pgno : 531
