Question

3) The absence of telomerase activity in 1 point
a cell results in
1.A progressive shortening of
chromosome ends as the cell divides,
thereby limiting the number of somatic
cell divisions
2.A progressive lengthening of
chromosome ends as the cell divides,
thereby limiting the number of somatic
cell divisions
3.No change in the cell division process
4.Stabilization of retrotransposons​

Answer 2

Progressive shortening of telomeres leads to senescence, apoptosis, or oncogenic transformation of somatic cells, affecting the health and lifespan of an individual. Shorter telomeres have been associated with increased incidence of diseases and poor survival.
