It allows scientists to monitor biological of a species as DNA contains marks that change over time as cell matures. research revealed that young dogs with a lot of energy may be considerably older than y appear. By of two, DNA of labror was equivalent to a human in ir early forties, rar than a 14-year-old human which tritional formula would suggest. ing slows down in dogs over time and by of 10, a labror is similar to a person d 68. researchers developed a new method to determine of dogs.
