Positive Correlations Have Been Found Between ________

Question

Positive correlations have been found between ________.
A) telomere lengths and longevity among individuals within populations
B) telomere lengths and longevity across many species of mammals
C) telomere lengths and longevity among individuals within populations and across many species of mammals
D) neither telomere lengths and longevity among individuals within populations nor telomere lengths and longevity across many species of mammals

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that within populations, individuals with longer telomeres tend to have greater longevity, indicating a positive correlation between telomere length and lifespan. However, this correlation does not consistently hold across different species of mammals.
