When the telomere is gone the cell will not reproduce itself and basicaly the animal will die. Besides permanent mutations occur all the time and most dont do anything at all, then there are a bunch of harmful mutations and finally the smallest partare beneficial mutations (beneficial is incredibly subjetive). Im not exactly sure what you mean with loss of genetic information thing.

You would have to argue with my ex biology teacher - the cell does not die. It can actually reproduce still and possibly turn cancerous or mutate. I've never heard the dying part before (though I'm sure if you nick the wrong gene, it could happen), unless you know something I don't. This is one reason why your body is designed to seek out and destroy these mutant genes, and one reason why cancer spreads easily later in life.
