Many enzymes have
to exist alongside
DNA during
replication and
protein synthesis. The
red and yellow areas
in the picture show
enzymes that work
with DNA.

In the newly produced DNA molecule, more mistakes can be made

than normal as a result of external factors. In this case, the ribosomes in
the cell start to produce DNA repair enzymes as per the order given by
DNA. Thus, as DNA protects itself, it also guarantees the preservation
of the generation.
The cells are born, they reproduce and die just like human beings.
Yet the life spans of cells are much shorter than the life of the human

they constitute. For instance, the majority of the cells that used to make
up your body six months ago do not exist today. However, you are now
able to survive because they have divided on time to leave their places
