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.

What are some things that can speed up or slow down cell division?

Things that can speed up cell division include growth factors, hormones, and certain mutations. On the other hand, factors that can slow down cell division include DNA damage, nutrient deprivation, and cell cycle checkpoints.

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.


List 6 internal and external factors which can affect or control the rate of cell division?

Internal factors that affect cell division include the cell's genetic material (DNA) and the presence of specific regulatory proteins such as cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases. External factors include growth factors, nutrient availability, density-dependent inhibition (cell crowding), and environmental conditions such as temperature and pH. Additionally, signaling molecules from neighboring cells can influence the rate of division. Together, these factors ensure that cell division occurs in a controlled and appropriate manner.


What is the relationship between interphase and cell divison?

interphase is the phase that takes up most of the cells life. In interphase their are three parts: G1, S, G2. Interphase is basically preparing cell for cell division. After interphase takes place, then the cell division takes place with Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telephase. I think this is right :) hope this makes sense


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.
