The Aging Process Rate and The Early Disease Discussion
Make sure you have reviewed the Reliability slides before you start this assignment. For this assignment, you will write two examples (limit each example to one sentence):
Example 1) Give an example of a trait error.
Example 2) Give an example of a method error.
Lecture: Biology and Aging
Keep these facts in mind as you watch this short lecture video on biology and aging.
-Telomeres protect the ends of chromosomes (longer telomeres related to longer lifespan)
-Without telomeres, cells can’t reproduce
-As cells divide, telomeres shorten until cells can’t replicate anymore (Hayflick limit)
-In the case of cancer, radiation can shorten telomeres and inhibit cell growth, thus preventing the growth of cancer (which is a form of uncontrolled cell growth).
