In most sexually reproducing animals, replication and maintenance of telomeres occurs in the germ line and during early development in embryogenesis through the use of telomerase. Somatic cells generally do not maintain telomere sequences, and these... Read More about Telomere maintenance and telomerase activity are differentially regulated in asexual and sexual worms.
