Use the information gathered in the Action of Telomerase animation to answer the question. Which of the statements about telomeres is false? The younger the cell is, the longer the telomere length would be. Telomeres are found universally in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Telomeres consist of short repeating sequences. Telomeres are normally shortened as the linear DNA gets replicated. Telomeres are maintained by special enzymes in some cells.
