toc = = = Definition: = The view that age-related physical declines result from species-specific genes for aging. HGD Chapter 17 pp. 442.

= Examples: = The aging of the cells for each individual is programmed into the genes, and there is a preset number of possible rejuvenations in the life of a given cell. This theory brings in the concept of internal biological clock to explain the process of ageing from childhood.
