Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Gnathostome

👉 The term "gnathostome" is a term used in biology to describe a type of organism that has two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from the mother and the other from each parent. These chromosomes are called telomeres, which are short segments of DNA located at the ends of chromosomes. The telomeres help to prevent cells from dividing too much, as they shorten with age.
