<p><strong><span style="font-size:18px">Suggested Raised Questions about Telomere and Aging</span></strong></p>
<p>During the class, some questions involved in telomere and aging&nbsp;were provided suggested by classmates.</p>
<p>1. What is the actual&nbsp;exact&nbsp;definition of aging?</p>
<p>2. Between biological age and real-time age, which one is &nbsp;can be said&nbsp;real age?</p>
<p>3.&nbsp;Can the truncation of telomere explain all the aging reason?</p>
<p>4.Is the telomere sequence same in chromosomes of different kind of cells?</p> <p>And so on, so from now on, conclusions from my&nbsp;investigation and analysis&nbsp;would be covered in this page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>1. What is the exact definition of aging?</strong></span></p> <p>Aging means the process of becoming older. Usually age of&nbsp;individual&nbsp;can be counted from the time when it was born, and it is called&nbsp;chronological aging. Meanwhile, biological aging, as known as senescence, means the steady&nbsp;deterioration&nbsp;of&nbsp;cell characteristics&nbsp;that could function&nbsp;for continuing&nbsp;life activity.&nbsp;During the biological aging,&nbsp;cells&#39; ability to maintain viability&nbsp;declines while tendency to be vulnerable to mortality&nbsp;grows after maturation.&nbsp;In sum, there are two kinds of definitions for aging - Real-time aging counted from time processing, and Biological aging counted by accumulation of cell malfunction.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>2. Between biological age and&nbsp;chronological age, which one&nbsp;can be said&nbsp;real age?</strong></span></p> <p>Usually there is a proportional relationship between real-time age and biological age, since&nbsp;cells tend to be damaged&nbsp;to be vulnerable to mortality as the time goes on. The more time the individual goes on, its&nbsp;cells &nbsp;(Processing)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>3.&nbsp;Can the truncation of telomere explain all the aging reason?</strong></span></p> <p>(Processing)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>4.</strong></span><span style="font-size:14px"><strong> Is the telomere sequence same in chromosomes of different kind of cells?</strong></span></p> <p>(Processing)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[The (Processing) phrase would remain until I complete my opinions after the question.]</p>
