Immortality hidden in the DNA

Immortal genes hidden in dna.

Functions of Immortal Genes
These genes are responsible for:

-DNA replication and repair
-Transcription of RNA and protein synthesis
-Cell division and growth
-Metabolism and energy production

Examples of Immortal Genes
Some examples of immortal genes include:

-DNA polymerase, which is responsible for replicating DNA

-RNA polymerase, which transcribes RNA from DNA

-Ribosomal proteins, which are essential for protein synthesis

-Histone proteins, which package DNA into chromatin.

Biological Immortality

In a broader sense, biological immortality refers to the ability of certain organisms or cells to maintain their youthful state indefinitely, regardless of chronological age.

This concept is distinct from the immortal genes discussed above, which are essential for the basic functioning of all cells.

Biological immortality can be achieved through mechanisms such as telomerase activity, DNA repair, and stem cell renewal, as seen in certain species like the Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfish.

The brain is king

The body is the kingdom
