The question "why do we age" has been asked numerous times. Butwhy are we young? The cells of the adult human being are an age(time>0), but how can old cells create new cells that areyounger than themselves?

I.e, how are young people made from the cells of old people?

I realize that senescence, the act of a cell aging, has to dowith the shortening of telomerase over time which puts a limit (theHayflick limit) on the life of an autosomal cell. So in theory,because cells only make direct copies of themselves but thetelomerase shortens with every division, each new daughter pairwould be as old as the parent and would continue aging. But howcome new people start senescence at time t=0?

Polyploidy is common in plants. This occurs where there are more than two complete sets of chromosomes. In agriculture, it is common to create triploid fruit with three complete sets of chromosomes, which are sterile, and therefore, seedless. Using what you know about meiosis, predict why two triploid plants would be unable to successfully create offspring.

I am a science lover and want to buy a microscope to explorethings around me. Like studying cell structures, microorganisms,blood and plants. It would be great if there is way to photographslides. Just curious to know and explore things around me.

I want to know which features I should consider while buyingit?
