THE POSSIBLE ROLE OF TELOMERES IN THE SHORT LIFE SPAN OF THE BAY SCALLOP, ARGOPECTEN IRRADIANS IRRADIANS (LAMARCK 1819)

2007-08-01

The life spans of eukaryotes can be determinate or indeterminate. Examples of the latter are found from sponges to lobsters to rainbow trout that reproduce and grow until disease, predation, or environmental circumstances end their lives.
