What factors may contribute to aging?
Vladimir [108]

<u>Answer:</u>

The factor that contributes to aging is: A Cells stop dividing after 50 divisions.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Normally after 40 to 50 divisions the cells stops dividing because they had already lost too much DNA for other divisions.
  • So they eventually die, making the appearance like an aged person in any individual.
  • As DNA is copied in every cell division process, they tend to loose small part of telomeres in each transfer process.
  • Hence, after 50 divisions these cells fails to divide resulting in aging.
