Yes, the older someone gets, the slower their cells divide, so the less cells they have because they die from age faster than they are reproduced. That's why it's thought that if you can make some kind of medicine to speed up cell division,you could live forever. Because your cells would never die off, so as a result neither would you.

Does cell division speed up when healing process nears completion?
The rate of cell division slows down,controls on growth are restored, and everything returns to normal.
What kind of cell division when the cell is not dividing?
:Mitosis is the cell division which did not divided the cell.: Reduction Division is the cell division which divided the cell into half.
How do DNA mutations affect cells?
Cells are dividing through the processes of Mitosis and Meiosis. DNA mutations directly affect cells by making them divide non-stop. This is known as Cancer. Proto-oncogenes, a gene involved in cell division mutates and becomes oncogenes that orders cell mechanism of division to go on continously even though the DNA found in a cell's nucleus is already damaged. this causes abnormal cell division.
Why mitotic cell division is called homotypic cell division?
Mitotic cell division is called homotypic cell division because no crossing over is occur in this division and pairing of homologous cromosome is also not occur. So caracteristics of daughter cells is same as mother cell. As there is no variation occur, so this type of cell division may called homotypic cell division.
Why is meiosis called reductional cell division?
Meiosis cell division is called reduction division because in this cell division the cells got from the parents cell is divided into half. So the daughter cells is haploid(n). Thus, meiosis cell division is called reduction division.
What does cell division prevent the cell from becoming?
Cell division prevents the cell from becoming too large.
What is a that cell division solves the problem of cell growth?
cell division increases the mass of the original cell.
Indentify the two process involved in cell division?
Meiosis: sex cell division Mitosis: animal/plant cell division
What plays a role in cell division?
Nuclear division plays a role in cell division.
