Enzyme which prevents aging/senescence is:

A
DNA Polymerase
B
Catalase
C
Telomerase
D
Peroxidase
High-Yield Explanation
Teloemrase prevents ageing. Telomerase RNA dependent DNA polymerase/ Reverse transcriptase Absent in somatic cells Not a ribozyme It is a ribonucleoprotein (RNA + protein)(act as enzyme). Increases longevity of cells Prevents telomere shoening (prevents ageing or senescence) Activity of enzyme decreased in ageing increased in cancer Premature ageing (Progeria) occurs if telomerase decreases
