Answer:

No, telomerase is not an oncogene. It prevents the senescence that would occur due to shortened telomeres, but the cell proliferation might still be mitogen-dependent.

Explanation

telomerase is not responsible for causing  deregulation while oncogenes cause deregulation .

Telomeres length shorten after the cell division which stops them to divide again and cell die.

Telomerase prevents this decline in some kinds of cells, including stem cells, by lengthening telomeres, and the hope was that activating the enzyme could  prevent senescence.

kow [346]

Answer:

love of water

Explanation:

HYDROPHILIC is a term used for substances that are WATER-LOVING in nature. As the name implies, hydro-meaning water and philia- meaning love, it means the love of water. Substances that are hydrophilic tend to be attracted towards water molecules and are readily dissolved by it. For example, sugar molecules are hydrophilic, hence, attract and dissolve in water.

On the other hand, hydrophobic means water-fearing i.e substances under this category repel water. Examples are some fat molecules.
