It is true that telomerase activity declines with old age which explains why cells lose their ability to divide after many replications.

Telomeres are DNA–protein complexes found at the ends of each chromosome they contain repetitive sequences of DNA. Telomeres protect the genome from nucleic bases degradation, unnecessary recombination, repair, and prevent the fusion of chromosomes. Telomeres, therefore, play a vital role in preserving the information in our genome.

Telomeres shorten with every consecutive DNA replication cycle limiting the number of cell divisions a cell can undergo, Telomeres act as a tumor suppressor by halting the replication of cells which contains several mutations after many division cycles.

quester [9]
The answer is commensalism.

<span>Commensalism is a relationship between two organisms in which only one of them has benefit, and the other one is not affected (it has no harm or benefit).
</span>In this example, clownfish has the benefit - it is protected from predators by sea anemones. <span>The sea anemone isn't harmed and doesn't benefit from this relationship. Hence, this is the example of commensalism.</span>

During osmosis, which of the following will occur if the left side of a selectively permeable membrane has a higher solute conce
storchak [24]

Explanation:

Water molecules from the less conentrated right side, will flow into the left side til they equilibrate- at equilibrium both sides will have the same concentration of solute.

In diffusion small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds. Similarly, during osmosis the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid bilayer, this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low osmotic pressure /concentration.
