Answer/Explanation:

Telomeres are structures found at the end of the chromosomes. They are protective structures made of repetitive sequences. They protect chromosomes from damage or fusing with other chromosomes. As the cell divides and divides, telomeres shorten. When they reach a critical point, the cell stops dividing, and might even undergo apoptosis (die).

Telomerase is an enzyme that adds nucleotides to telomeres to prevent their shortening. If all our cells expressed telomerase, the telomeres would never reach the critical short length to stop cell division. Therefore, our cells would keep dividing forever!

Answer: C.) They need the host cell to replicate

Explanation:

Viruses are not made out of cells, they can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.
