The ends of DNA molecules form telomeres that help keep the ends of chromosomes from sticking to each other. Why might this be especially important in germ cells, which go through meiosis and make haploid gametes?

if the ends of two chromosomes stick together, the chromosomes will not separate correctly during meiosis. one of the resulting gametes will have an extra chromosome, and the other will be missing a chromosome

The telomeres which keep the ends of chromosomes from sticking to each

other is important because it helps to prevent mutation and death  of

offspring.

Telomeres are referred to as the ends of the chromosome. They prevent

sticking together of the homologous chromosomes during the process of

separation in meiosis.

If the telomere is absent and sticking together happens then one of the

resulting gametes will have extra chromosome with a corresponding

deficiency in the chromosome of the other thereby resulting in lower

reproductive rate,  mutation and death
