Answer:

B) Telomerase is a ribonuclear protein containing a section of RNA complementary to the telomeres

C. telomerase is reactivated in cancer cells, contributing to their immortality

  • Telomerase elongates telomere ends
  • Telomerase binds to a RNA molecule containing  a sequence complementary to the telomeric repeat.
  • Telomerase is usually not active in somatic cells but is active in cancer cells- the protein acts to extend the shortened telomeres in these cells preventing them from dying
