Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Telomerase activity is responsible for adding DNA sequences to the ends of chromosomes, known as telomeres, which protect the genetic material from deteriorating during cell division. As cells divide and telomeres shorten, eventually the telomeres become so short that the cell can no longer divide and enters a state of senescence or cell death. Therefore, a lack of telomerase activity limits the number of times a cell can divide.
