Biology

Mrac [35]3 years ago

Yes accumulation of mutation can drive aging process.

Explanation:

The molecular damage that occurs in cells and tissues for a long time due to DNA damage and epigenetic changes gets accumulated in the cell.

This leads to lowering of the homeostasis in the cell during stress conditions and eventually risks of life-threatening diseases as cancers  or neurodegenerative disorders develop.

Due to mutation in the gene DNA repair mechanism also gets affected this  also contributes to the ageing of cells.

The telomere of the chromosome is shortened after every mitotic division but telomerase enzyme keeps adding the DNA sequence preventing shortening aging and death of the cell. If  the mutation occurs in this enzyme it will increase the ageing of cells at high rate.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The different classes of waste produced in a house can be classified as follow: organic waste, liquid waste, solid waste and recyclable waste

Explanation:

In family homes, it is important to understand which are the types of waste in order to know how to dispose of them properly in an environmentally friendly way. First, liquid waste from the bathroom and kitchen is usually directed to the main sewer line or eliminated by septic tanks that serve as sewage collectors. Second, organic and recyclable waste is biodegradable, thereby this type of waste is usually disposed of in incinerators or landfills. Third, solid non-hazardous waste can be eliminated by compressing with mechanical systems and covered with earth to be finally compacted.
