Telomerase is made of protein and is found on fetal, adult & tumor tissues. Telomerase occurs in a repeating DNA sequence at the end of the body’s chromosomes. Telomerase can reach a link of 15,000 base pairs and it prevents chromosomes from losing the base paid sequences at their ends. It also stops chromosomes from fusing each other. “When the telomere becomes too short, the chromosome reaches a critical length and can no longer replicate” (Wright, 2016). However every time a cell is divided some telomeres disappear. Telomerase is believed to cause cancer because if it is triggered in a cell it can grow and divide and which can cause cancer cells throughout the body. However “If telomerase activity was to be turned off, then telomeres in
