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
Explanation:
- 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

<span>DNA, also known as deoxyribonucleic acid, belongs to a class of polymeric organic macromolecules called nucleic acids.
The only other member of this class is ribonucleic acid, or RNA.
Nucleic acids were first discovered in 1869 by the Swiss scientist
Friedrich Miescher.

<span>DNA and RNA play
important roles as genetic information carriers in biology, enabling the
mechanisms of heredity and protein synthesis. Nucleic acids are
polymers of nucleotides, which are composed of a five-carbon sugar, also
called a pentose sugar, a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group. The
sugar is deoxyribose, in the case of DNA, and ribose, in the case of
RNA.</span>
