Hello,
One process that could be viewed as a form of bookeeping in cells is
telomeric shortening subsequent to cell division. Telomeric shortening, it
seems, is related to the diminishing life capital of each living cells. Just
as our bank accounts diminish with spending.
This could be a good

tantalizing idea. What factor might drive the evolution of a bookkeeping
mechanism like telomere shortening in cells? I ask my question this way to
intentionally avoid the assumption that it must represent an adaptation
