#ScienceSunday - Did you know the length of a baby bird's telomeres can predict its future fitness? 💪🐦🥇 Telomeres are segments of chromosomal DNA that protect coding DNA and shorten in response to cell replication and stress. 🧬 An international study led by Monash biologists found that longer telomeres in infancy equalled more offspring and a greater genetic contribution to the next generation.
