Which of the Following Cells Have Reduced or Very Little

Question

Which of the following cells have reduced or very little active telomerase activity?
A)most normal somatic cells
B)most normal germ cells
C)most cancer cells
D)rapidly dividing cells
E)plant cells

Accepted Answer

Most normal somatic cells have reduced or very little active telomerase activity, which limits their ability to divide and ultimately leads to cell senescence and aging. Telomerase activity is highest in germ cells, cancer cells, and rapidly dividing cells. Plant cells also have telomerase activity but were not mentioned as a choice in the question.
