At the conclusion of this activity participants will be able to<\/strong>: 1)\u00a0repeat that the telomere is a repetitive DNA sequence that caps the ends of each human chromosome and acts as a barrier, protecting the genome; 2) state that each time a cell divides, a portion of this barrier is lost and over time our genetic information becomes susceptible to degradation and\/or damage; and 3) recall that to avoid this type of damage critically short telomeres send a signal to the cell to induce either growth arrest or cell death. Cancer cells, however, have evolved mechanisms to overcome progressive telomere shortening and bypass this growth arrest<\/span>.<\/p>\n
