Ever wonder why we age? The problem with our cell replication is that when a cell divides, it skips over some of the DNA in our chromosomes when it copies the DNA so that both of the cells are human cells and not blank, useless cells. If DNA is skipped over then the cell can not be replicated properly, and it wont function properly. Then the the copied cell dies. That's why the body produces telemeres, which are bits of DNA your body can afford to get rid of. Eventually your telemeres are gone or skipped over, and you die of old age.
The video is right here.
Very interesting! Can you find 2 more credible sources to support this?
