Explanation:

The term biological clock has many different meaning, one of the is the decrease of female fertility with advancing maternal age, the other the biological program that limits the lifespan of an individual.

Rosa's grandmother Teresita is the term biological clock to the fact that she is approaching an age at which she is likely to die.
