adjusted question after acquiring more knowledge

| Apr 26 at 23:19 | comment | added | Rookynote | Thanks for the article! I've tried to do some research, and only really found things about cell division and mutations. I suppose it is hard to research when you don't exactly know what you are searching for haha! Now knowing about Senescence, I'm still left with the same question of why it happens (this just seems to imply we know it happens). I'll be updating the original question accordingly. Thank you! | |
| Apr 26 at 8:27 | comment | added | Domen | Welcome to Biology StackExchange! Generally, it is expected that you do some prior research on the question yourself before posting it here. Ageing and senescence are very complex topics, and there are many different theories trying to explain these phenomena. You can start with a Wiki article on Senescence and familiarize yourself with the basic terms and concepts :) | |
