Answer» Correct Answer - C Cancerous cells have high telomerase activity. The maintenance of telomere stability is required for the long term proliferation of tumors. This makes telomerase a target not only for cancer diagnosis but also for the development of novel anti-cancer therapeutic agents, e.g. telomerase inhibitors are used in cancer treatment. |
