  2. Methuselah (cellular automaton) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methuselah_(cellular...

    In cellular automata, a methuselah is a small "seed" pattern of initial live cells that take a large number of generations in order to stabilize. More specifically, Martin Gardner defines them as patterns of fewer than ten live cells which take longer than 50 generations to stabilize, [ 1 ] although some patterns that are larger than ten cells ...

  3. Evolution of cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_cells

    Evolution of cells refers to the evolutionary origin and subsequent evolutionary development of cells. Cells first emerged at least 3.8 billion years ago [1] [2] [3] approximately 750 million years after Earth was formed. [4]

  4. Hayflick limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayflick_limit

    The typical normal human fetal cell will divide between 50 and 70 times before experiencing senescence. As the cell divides, the telomeres on the ends of chromosomes shorten. The Hayflick limit is the limit on cell replication imposed by the shortening of telomeres with each division. This end stage is known as cellular senescence.

  5. Biological immortality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_immortality

    All hydra cells continually divide. [15] It has been suggested that hydras do not undergo senescence, and, as such, are biologically immortal. In a four-year study, 3 cohorts of hydra did not show an increase in mortality with age. It is possible that these animals live much longer, considering that they reach maturity in 5 to 10 days. [16]

  6. Cell theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_theory

    The generally accepted parts of modern cell theory include: All known living things are made up of one or more cells [13] All living cells arise from pre-existing cells by division. The cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms. [14] The activity of an organism depends on the total activity of independent ...

    If you're wondering which countries have the longest life expectancy for cats, the UK was ranked at number one with 11.74 years. The US follows closely behind with 11.18 years, and Japan in third ...

  9. Cell biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_biology

    Cell biology (also cellular biology or cytology) is a branch of biology that studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells. [1] [2] All living organisms are made of cells. A cell is the basic unit of life that is responsible for the living and functioning of organisms. [3] Cell biology is the study of the structural and functional ...
