Step-by-Step Analysis
We are given a set of statements labeled 1 through 9 and a list of terms to match with each statement. Below I go through each statement and explain why the corresponding term from the provided answer list fits, and why the other terms do not fit as well. 1) The idea that the repetition of cell division caused mistakes - Correct match: telomere theory of aging - Why this fits: Telomeres shorten with each cell division; when they become critically short, cells may enter senescence or die, linking replication limits to aging and the accumulation of cellular mistakes over time. - Why other options don’t fit as well: Free radical theory centers on oxidative damage, wear-and-tear on tissues, and programmed senescence involves broader genetic regulation rather than replication limits; none specifically pinpoint replication-associated shortening like the telomere theory. 2) The idea that damage is done to the cells because of t......Login to view full explanation
