The 100 species with longest life-spans recorded and verified [1] This is a list of the longest-living biological organisms: the individual(s) (or in some instances, clones) of a species with the longest natural maximum life spans. For a given species, such a designation may include:
Family Name Binomial name Image Maximum lifespan Alligatoridae: American alligator: Alligator mississippiensis: 87 years [3] [4] Cathartidae: Andean condor: Vultur gryphus: 80 years [5] Elephantidae: Asian elephant: Elephas maximus: 79.6 years [6] Corvidae: Common raven: Corvus corax: 69 years [7] Hominidae: Chimpanzee: Pan troglodytes: 68 ...
This list of longest species names lists the longest scientific binomials. [1] Species in this list are grouped by length of their name. Only binomials are considered, not subgenera, trinomial names of subspecies or infraspecific names. Family is given for each species (or the closest taxonomic rank if
Longevity may refer to especially long-lived members of a population, whereas life expectancy is defined statistically as the average number of years remaining at a given age. For example, a population's life expectancy at birth is the same as the average age at death for all people born in the same year (in the case of cohorts).
The differences in life span between species demonstrate the role of genetics in determining maximum life span ("rate of aging"). The records (in years) are these: for common house mouse, 4 [29] for Brown rat, 3.8 [30] for dogs, 29 (See List of longest-living dogs) [31] for cats, 38 (See List of longest-living cats) [32] for common cranes, 43 [33]
Among the most commonly used cell lines are HeLa and Jurkat, both of which are immortalized cancer cell lines. [4] These cells have been and still are widely used in biological research such as creation of the polio vaccine, [5] sex hormone steroid research, [6] and cell metabolism. [7] Embryonic stem cells and germ cells have also been ...
The 1 meal the longest living family eats everyday “The longest-lived family in the world eats this meal every single day,” Buettner wrote in the Instagram post. The meal consists of:
The list of organisms by chromosome count describes ploidy or numbers of chromosomes in the cells of various plants, animals, protists, and other living organisms. This number, along with the visual appearance of the chromosome, is known as the karyotype , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and can be found by looking at the chromosomes through a microscope .
