Detailed explanation-1: -Modern biological theories of aging in humans fall into two main categories: programmed and damage or error theories. The programmed theories imply that aging follows a biological timetable, perhaps a continuation of the one that regulates childhood growth and development.

Detailed explanation-2: -Endocrine Theory, where biological clocks act through hormones to control the pace of ageing. Immunological Theory, which states that the immune system is programmed to decline over time, leading to an increased vulnerability to infectious disease and thus ageing and death.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most biological theories of aging have one of two general orientations: Aging occurs due to random genetic mutations and oxidative stress, or. Aging is a result of programmed senescence (Bengtson, Gans, Putney, & Silverstein, 2009).

Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic program theory According to the genetic program theory, aging is programmed in each species because each species has its own average longevity since they are born.
