You do have an wonderful theory, but what if they already found the cure for cancer cells? but wont tell us because the government wants us to believe there isnt none so that they can either use it on themselves or wait for the future atleast a million people die from cancer everyday but how come they havent "supposedly" found a cure yet?

The right answer is slowly erode their chromosome ends.

Telomerase is an enzyme found in eukaryotic organisms, which, during DNA replication, has the mission to dress the telomere chromosomes, nucleotide sequences placed at their ends and used to preserve them.

Telomerase expresses itself very little (if at all) in differentiated cells. By dint of cellular divisions, the telomeres disappear, the chromosomes are damaged and the cell returns to senescence. In contrast, the enzyme is very active in germ lines. It therefore prevents aging stem cells. It is considered that it could be one of the levers to activate to curb or even stop aging.

A certain DNA sequence is 3 bases long. How many possible DNA combinations can exist for the 3-base long DNA sequence?
lord [1]
This was a hard one but I did some research and I found this

Our genome has 3 billion base pairs so a naive calculation shows 3x10^36 different combinations. But that's a meaningless number. A lot of those variants would be silent mutations, i.e. changes in introns, repeated sequences, 3rd position codons, etc etc that would have no effect on the phenotype.

Hope this help

What is the relationship between the cristae of the mitochondria and the thylakoids of the chloroplasts
uranmaximum [27]

Mitochondria are organelles found in the cytoplasm of the cell that release energy from glucose in the process of respiration. Chloroplasts are organelles that contain chlorophyll, a light-trapping pigment, needed from photosynthesis.  

By examining the uses of these organelles and using prior knowledge that photosynthesis requires energy, it can be determined that the relationship between mitochondria and chloroplasts is:  

Mitochondria -- Energy Released -- Photosynthesis Occurs -- Glucose Produced
