If telomeres were not maintained, chromosomes would become progressively shorter with each cell division. This would eventually lead to the loss of essential coding sequences in DNA, causing cellular dysfunction, senescence, or programmed cell death. This is a key factor in aging and limits the replicative lifespan of most somatic cells.
