Get Ready for your Exam 4 It could become possible for humans to live for up to 00 years. This is what researchers are saying atthe University of California. They have made a scientific discovery using ordinary yeast: the kind you find in bread. The scientists were looking at live yeast and removed two genes that are responsible for making it grow old. These are the same genes that also cause cancer in humans. They then put the yeast on a diet! This made the yeast lve ten times longer than normal, which is the longest extension of life that scientists have achieved 0 far in living organisms. Valter Longo, the head scientist of the project, says that although human and yeast genes are different, the method of making things live longeris the same. If scientists develop this method, humans could live much longer too. At the moment, this is only ‘a possibility. But Longo believes that scientists know ‘enough now to help everybody live to atleast 220. Longo also thinks that there is another gene that is responsible for making us age. He thinks that humans die before they need to. If we can alsofind this gene ‘and remove i, then it might be possible to live toan incredible age. Other scientists don't think this is possible. They think ‘that humans can’t live for more than 225 years. The oldest known person in the world, Jeanne Calment, died at the age of 222 years and 164 days. Most scientists think that she was ane of the few lucky ones ‘to almost reach the maximum human age limit. However, itis true that more humans are living longer, than ever before. In Britain, there is @ huge number of people living past 100. Nearly 9,000 people are 100 or older now, compared to only 200 people in 1922. There are still far more women than men in this age group — seven women for every man. So, if you want to live a long time, the best thing to be is female! 1. Scientists at the University of California have ‘A developed a new yeast diet. B stopped yeast growing old. removed cancer from yeast. D put yeast genes into humans. 2 Valter Longo thinks ‘A human and yeast genes are the same. B people can live longer than 120 years now. C human genes could be removed to make us live longer.
