Answer:

Telomeres cap and protect the ends of chromosomes from degradation and illegitimate recombination. ... Abolition of telomerase activity in such cells nevertheless results in telomere shortening, a process that eventually destabilizes the ends of chromosomes, leading to genomic instability and cell growth arrest or death.
