Is it true that a cell can keep on replicating forever?(a) True(b) FalseI have been asked this question at a job interview.I need to ask this question from Mitosis Stages Overview topic in division Chromosomal Changes During Meiosis of Cytogenetics

Answer»

Right choice is (b) False

Best explanation: A REPLICATING cell, ESPECIALLY a somatic cell, has a limit called Hayflick’s limit. This is due to the shortening of the TELOMERE with EVERY cycle of replication that ultimately results in stopping of the replication when telomere is too SHORT.
