Questions 36-42

Canadian researchers have discovered a set of genes that
determine the lifespan of the common nematode, a type of worm.
This finding sheds new light on the aging process that may
(line) eventually allow scientists to delay the inexorable process of aging and
(5) death.
By manipulating the newly discovered genes, the team at McGill
University in Montreal was able to increase the lifespan of the
nematode fivefold. Altering the genes apparently slowed the
metabolism of the worms to a more leisurely pace. This in turn may
(10) slow the accumulation of the DNA defects thought to cause aging.
Although the causes of aging in humans are undoubtedly more
involved, researchers are confident that the discoveries will
provide invaluable clues about this heretofore mysterious process.
