Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Telomerase activity is a factor associated with the immortalization of cancer cells, as it allows for the continuous maintenance of telomeres, which are protective caps at the end of chromosomes, preventing them from shortening and leading to cell senescence or death. Inhibition of growth, stimulation of apoptosis, and tumor-suppressor activation are all factors that would typically prevent cancer cell proliferation and are not associated with immortalization. Therefore, choices A, B, and D are incorrect. E is also incorrect, as only choice D is an incorrect factor associated with immortalization.
