Best Answer

Because if you take the genes from an older animal

And use them to create a clone of that exact animal, it would still be born from the womb as a child

However because the genes are already however many years old the newborn animals genes will be the same age so it will mature, and die faster

For example Dolly the sheep was 7 years old

Her genes were cloned into a baby lamb

This lambs genes were 7 years old so it had to catch up faster

Therefore... It aged faster

The nucleus of the original animal cell is transplanted into an egg whose nucleus has been removed, this means that the clone's nuclear DNA will be the same but the rest of the cell is different. The mitochondria, a part of cells, which creates ATP energy acquires mutations which plays a important role in the aging process.

Is clone fertile?

Depends on the 'perfection' of the cloning process. I myself don't know the precision of the most recent version of the process, so I don't know if they managed to fix the 'bugs' in the system. Although I suppose it is safe to assume that clones ARE fertile, considering they share the same genetic code as the donor, providing the donor is fertile to start with.

What is the difference between dynamic strain aging and strain aging?

Strain aging could be described as " normal wear and tear " or the fatigue that is experienced under normal conditions, whereas Dynamic strain would be an out of the normal range stress condition like a one time over stress condition where the sum of much strain aging is experienced in one " dynamic" occurrence.
