Telomerase is an enzyme that is produced only in cells that are actively dividing. For this reason it is generally absent from body tissues in adults. Bone marrow is an exception to this rule, however, since even in adults, bone marrow cells continually divide to replace old blood cells. Cancers are another exception, because their cells are rapidly dividing.
The information provided most strongly supports which of the following?
Telomerase is the only enzyme that is present in cancerous cells but absent from cells that are not actively dividing.
In children, the only body tissues from which telomerase is absent are those in which cells are not rapidly dividing.
The presence of telomerase in bone marrow is no indication of bone marrow cancer.
Cancer of the bone marrow develops more rapidly than cancer growing in any other kind of adult tissue.
The level of telomerase production is always higher in cancerous tissue than in noncancerous tissue.
T是一种只有在不断分裂的细胞中存在的酶,因此T很少在成年人的体内组织中发现。BM是另一个特例因为它不断分裂来替代老的血细胞。cancer是另一个特例因为它一直在不停分裂
从文章中提到的成年人身体内不停在分裂的细胞(BM和cancer)都是特例
