Telomeres are protective sequences of nucleotides found at the ends of chromosomes,Which become shorter every time a cell divides.
A gradual degeneration of an organism occurs, resulting in ageing.
However, some cells are able to replenish their telomeres using the enzyme telomerase. 
Hope this helps! :)
