Question

Medical Science has understood that there are over 200 types of cancer. Why so? The answer is easy There are over 200 types of cells in the human body and all of them can become cancerous. Normal healthy cells divide and die as they should, but you may ask "How many time?" The average number of times normal healthy cells divide is known as Hayflick limit. It was named after Dr. Leonard Hayflick who in 1965 noticed that cells divide a specific number of times before one division stops. Its Average was between 40 and 60. If someone took every cell in his body at the time he was born, if accounted for all the cells that he would produce and so on, multiplied number by the average time it takes for the cells to die, he gets what is known as Hayflick limit. The maximum number of years one can theoretically live. That would be 120 years.

i) what is Hayflick limit?
