GENETIC SENESCENCE. “There is substantial evidence for genetic control of senescence in some iteroparous animals, indicating that senescence is at least sometimes “programmed” (in the inclusive sense) and highlighting the question of the relationship between aging “programs” and selection. For example, in Drosophila melanogaster, selective breeding and other studies demonstrated a genetic, heritable component to senescence.”
