The appearance of banded iron layers in the rock record between 1.08 and 3.8 billion years ago reflect the alteration of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor conditions in the ocean at that time is True.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Banded rocks have layers of iron oxide and cherts that contain silica. The layer containing iron oxide has a dark color and the chert layer is red in color. Haematite and magnetite are usually the iron oxides that make up the banded rocks.

Banded rocks were formed by the reaction of iron in the oceans with the oxygen produces by photosynthetic bacteria in the ocean. The reaction caused the formation of iron oxides and their precipitation as Banded iron formations.

The presence of free oxygen is crucial for the formation of banded rocks and the formation reduced drastically after 1800 mya period when  atmospheric oxygen availability was reduced.  Banded rocks represent the oxygen rich and oxygen-poor condition of the ocean at that time.

Bumek [7]

It is true that telomerase activity declines with old age which explains why cells lose their ability to divide after many replications.

Telomeres are DNA–protein complexes found at the ends of each chromosome they contain repetitive sequences of DNA. Telomeres protect the genome from nucleic bases degradation, unnecessary recombination, repair, and prevent the fusion of chromosomes. Telomeres, therefore, play a vital role in preserving the information in our genome.

Telomeres shorten with every consecutive DNA replication cycle limiting the number of cell divisions a cell can undergo, Telomeres act as a tumor suppressor by halting the replication of cells which contains several mutations after many division cycles.
