What is the average life span of DNA - RNA?

DNA that left inside and dry at room temperature can last for years, such as that found on hairs in a hair brush. DNA in harsh conditions such as high heat or strong chemicals, can degrade very quickly (minutes to years). DNA that is preserved well can last a very long time - an ancient human from over 4000 years ago was recently discovered with DNA of sufficient quality that it could be sequenced. DNA can stick around forever, as long as it is in the right conditions.


The major challenge in using adult DNA in the cloning process is?

The major challenge in using adult DNA in the cloning process is that it may have undergone mutations or epigenetic changes that can result in abnormalities in the cloned organism. Additionally, the DNA from an adult cell may have shorter telomeres, which are linked to aging and could affect the lifespan of the cloned organism. Lastly, the efficiency of cloning using adult DNA is generally lower compared to using embryonic DNA.


What human cells can't have DNA extracted?

Red blood cells (otherwise known as erythrocytes). They contain no DNA or organelles. They lose them whilst maturing so as to be able to pack more haemoglobin into the cell and therefore be more efficient oxygen carriers.


What does DNA direct?

DNA is a blueprint within which all the cellular proteins, ribonucleic acids are encoded. All these proteins and ribonucleic acids are responsible for the different metabolic processes occurring in a cell. In a way, DNA directs all the reactions of a cell and determines its lifespan, functions, morphology among other things.


Do blood cells have a shorter lifespan in babies?

No, blood cells live the same lifespan no matter how old the human is.

How can humans achieve lifespan extension?

Humans can achieve lifespan extension if they would strive to find new strains of DNA that could prolong life by delaying the aging process or by concocting a medicine that can do so.


How does DNA die when you die?

When you die, the cells in your body start to break down and degrade. This process can damage and fragment the DNA in those cells, leading to its eventual disintegration. DNA does not have a lifespan on its own, but rather its degradation is a result of the breakdown of the cells that contain it after death.
