| telomeric R-banding stain | <technique> A modified R-banding stain in which the telomeres become strongly stained and faint R-banding still occurs over the rest of the chromosomes; uses air-dried slides, aging for several days, and staining in hot phosphate-buffered Giemsa stain. (05 Mar 2000) |

| telopeptide | <biochemistry, molecular biology> Portions of the amino acid sequence of a protein that are removed in maturation of the protein. Best example are the N and C terminal telopeptides of procollagen that are involved in development of the quaternary structure and are then proteolytically removed by procollagen peptidases.

| telophase | The final stage of mitosis or meiosis, when chromosome separation is completed. (18 Nov 1997) |
| telophase i | The stage in the first meiotic division of meiosis that follows anaphase I. The two sets of chromosomes have finished moving to opposite ends of the cell. Cytokinesis occurs, forming two daughter cells. Nuclear membranes do not form and the chromosomes do not decondense at this point, however, as they would in mitosis. (09 Oct 1997) |
| telophase II | The last stage in the second meiotic division of meiosis which follows anaphase II. The two sets of chromosomes have finished moving to opposite ends of each of the two cells produced during the first meiotic division. Cytokinesis occurs, resulting in four haploid cells. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Telosporea | A class of homoxenous or heteroxenous parasitic protozoa exhibiting both sexual and asexual phases. Locomotion is by body flexion, gliding, or undulations of longitudinal ridges. Pseudopods, if present, are used only for feeding. It comprises three subclasses: gregarinia, coccidia, and piroplasmia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Telosporidia | A former order of Sporozoea. Origin: G. Telos, end, + sporos, seed (05 Mar 2000) |
| telotism | The perfect performance of a function, as that of sight or hearing. Origin: G. Telos, end (05 Mar 2000) |
| telotrocha | Origin: NL. See Telotrochal. <zoology> An annelid larva having telotrochal bands of cilia. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| telotrochous | <zoology> Having both a preoral and a posterior band of cilla; applied to the larvae of certain annelids. Origin: Gr. Complete + wheel, hoop. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| telotype | An electric telegraph which prints the messages in letters and not in signs. Origin: Gr. Far off + -type. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
