Title: Saving cells for future Post by: xtrome on Jan 20, 2015 Hello,
first of all, I'm not good in both english and biology :) sorry for the possible mistakes. I heard multiplication damages DNA of cell a bit in multiplication. Now I wonder what happen in future I get sick and need my DNA? although it's damaged. Thus, is it possible to save my current DNA (15 yrs old) somewhere? or is there a cell that contain my original DNA since birth? Thanks a lot.

If DNA gets damaged it will get repaired. You don't need to save your DNA. All the DNA inside of you is the same as it was since birth. Title: Re: Saving cells for future Post by: xtrome on Jan 21, 2015 thank you for answering. ok not about DNA but what about other things get damaged by the multiplication? Title: Re: Saving cells for future Post by: bio_man on Jan 21, 2015 I believe you're referring to damage to Telomeric DNA damage. Telomeres are non-coding DNA found at the ends of chromosomes. As we age, they get shorter. However, if DNA is not divided correctly, it it corrected, so a mutated cell never really gets far, unless it is cancerous.

Thanks a lot. When you were born your Umbillical Cord contains plenty of stem cells and your original DNA, but that ship has probably sailed. And as stated above you really don't need to save your DNA. Title: Re: Saving cells for future Post by: maxadam25 on Jan 22, 2015 Nice information
