I wish I could answer your all the questions in greater detail, which you have imagined and raised in the post. However, within my limitations, I would lay down what I feel about the whole thing.
1. Cells of animals or plants do reproduce and die only till the specific animal or plant is alive (Alive in the sense we understand Life). The ego, me, me, and me as you rightly put, is the consciousness, existing in that specific identity. This consciousness is the root cause of, not only whole of physical aspects but also of metaphysical aspects of the individual. I won’t touch metaphysical aspect here !
2. This consciousness is the cause of formation of next generation offspring's physical body organs (internal & external) through a mechanism of genes, DNA, RNA, electronic impulses, chemicals and what not…reproduction in nut shell.
3. To my mind this consciousness is the driving force behind conscious mind, sub-conscious mind and unconscious mind, thought, control of neuronal electronic impulses, feeling through various senses...so on and so forth right up to cell production and dieing !
4. I also feel that whole activity going on from minutest particle DNA, RNA. Genes or cell is two way reversible reaction. Thought is formed in mind due to consciousness and affects right up to minutest particle while; effect on organs through minutest particles affect the consciousness (mind in gross form)
5. In view of what I said in point no. 1, due to existence of life in individual, I dare to say, the me, me, me ego in each of cell do exist and they reproduce and die due to presence of consciousness of individual. But, when the individual dies, the reproduction of cell seizes. Different system, which is the process of deterioration starts, also due to different living organisms having their conscious mechanism.
6. Aging, I can put as true, mainly for the physical aspect, is nothing but due to wearing, fatigue or exertion…of cells, organs and the like. The continual reversible functions between cells and self (individual) does develop imbalances between rate of production and rate of dying out of cells…ultimately affects vital organs and their functions…finally to the consciousness or what we call death of individual.
7. We cannot ignore scientific knowledge of genes, according to which Genes are responsible for pre-programming the later developments in the physical body or organs therein, that system act to have final affect as death (latest finding). Cancer cells and other life threatening developments take place through gene network. As these cells ultimately kill a person, we can term those as rebellions compared to normal functioning of other cells.
8. Consciousness goes out on death., metaphysical mind acompanying , but I won't discuss that as it is supernatural stuff !!!!
